How do I extract a single value from a single column in a single row in a dataset?
First of all, thank you to everyone who takes time to answer basic questions in this forum. Your patience is deeply appreciated. For the past day, I've been trying to figure out how to access a single value in a row of a data set. The data layer tutorials by Scott Mitchell are helpful, but I still can't figure out how to extract a single value without looping through the data set. By passing a Client_ID to an instance of my data adapter, I am able to return a unique row that contains a column labeled Family_ID. However, I can't figure out how to access the value of that column on...

Getting a Single Value From a DataSet
This seems like such a silly question, but I haven't found the answer yet. How do I get a single value from a DataSet? Like, if the DataSet has a table "TableX" which has a field/column "ValueX", then how do I get "ValueX" for a given row? I've only been using DataSets to bind whole columns and stuff thus far. If you are returning a 1x1 result (e.g. SELECT Count(*) FROM Table1), then you should look at using the .ExecuteScalar() method instead of using a DataSet. You can find it on all of the providers (SqlCommand, OleDbCommand). Incidentally, have you ...

Can I do this a different way? You can use e.Row.DataItem("field name") in the RowDataBound event -  as long as the field is in your SQL statement doesn't m...
