Move Next/Move Previous

[brews]

Trying to have the user be able to move alphabetically through a db in .net. The user picks a record from a listview and then:

        If frm.lvwDisplay.SelectedIndices.Count = 0 Then
            Exit Sub
        Else
            intID = CInt(frm.lvwDisplay.SelectedItems(0).Text)
            dataMgr.FindOneName(intID, nMember) 'nMember a class of members
            dataMgr.GetAbsRec(iID)
        End If

    Public Function GetAbsRec(ByVal iMemberID As Integer) As Integer
        Dim abspos As Integer
        Dim dtr As DataRow
        For i = 0 To ds.Tables("Members").Rows.Count - 1 ' this is where it falls apart. 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
            dtr = ds.Tables("Members").Rows(i)
            If dtr.Item("MemberID") = iMemberID Then
                abspos = i
            End If
        Next
        Return abspos
        Exit Function
    End Function

Once this hurdle is cleared, the data from the next record is displayed.

Any help is appreciated. thanks
