Loop through particular row in a DataTable

Question

Following code gives values in the 8th column. Following code is okay.

Dim myDataTable As System.Data.DataTable = New System.Data.DataTable
For Each row As System.Data.DataRow In myDataTable.Rows
    MessageBox.Show(row.Item(7).ToString)
Next

Following code doesn't give values in the 8th row. Following code is not okay.

Dim myDataTable As System.Data.DataTable = New System.Data.DataTable
For Each col As System.Data.DataColumn In myDataTable.Columns
    MessageBox.Show(col.Item(7).ToString)
Next

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

The DataColumn class doesn't have an Item property. If you want to iterate through the items of the 8th row, you can do so using the ItemArray property of the DataRow:

For Each item In myDataTable.Rows(7).ItemArray
    MessageBox.Show(item.ToString)
Next

Answer 2

Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim eightRow = dt.Rows(7)
For x = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1
    MessageBox.Show(eightRow(x).ToString())
Next
