Converting VB to C# 1

[stnkyminky]

VB
Dim dt1 as new DataTable
dt1 = ds.Tables(0)

C#
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1 = ds.Tables(0); <--'System.Data.DataSet.Tables' denotes a 'property' where a 'method' was expected


I thought the code should be the same for either language.



Also here is what sparked the whole question. I have a crystal report that contains 1 subreport. I am pushing data to the report.

Here is my attempt in C#. I know for a fact that this will work in VB.net. BTW I get the same error as above with this code as well.

report.SetDataSource(ds.Tables(0));
report.OpenSubreport(&quot;kanban3&quot.SetDataSource(ds.Tables(1));

In C#, parenthesis --> ()
are used for method calls. If you need to index into an array or collection, use square brackets --> []

In your case, the .Tables property returns a collection of tables, so you'd use the square brackets.

Tables is a property of dataset

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ml/frlrfsystemdatadatasetclasstablestopic.asp

dt1 = ds.Tables[0];

instead of

dt1 = ds.Tables(0);

A good practice is to use the table name instead of using its index to access a DataTable object in a Tables collection of a Dataset object e.g.
-when a DataTable is added to a DataSet set a name for it
-when a DataTable will be accessed then use its name like :
DataTable dt= ds.Tables[&quot;Customers&quot;] instead of
DataTaable dt = ds.Tables[1];
