Question

Alright, so what I’m attempting to do here, is select from a datatable all the rows that match two variables. First, I queried a SPList into a datatable. The datatable has two columns, Client ID, and Model Details. Here’s some of the code, so hopefully you can get an idea of what I’m attempting.

//These are contained within a foreach loop, so will be different through each
//iteration through.
int iClientID = gdbData.GetClientID(iJobNumberID);
string strModelDetails = xeApprovalUpdate.GetAttribute("ModelDetails");
string strClientID = iClientID.ToString()
//Here my datatable is populated from the sharepoint list I query
DataTable dtabModelDetails = queryModelDetails(splModelDetails);
DataRow[] drModelDetails = dtabModelDetails.Select(strClientID, strModelDetails);

Seeing as that didn’t work, I attempted to do the following select statement:

DataTable dtabModelDetails = queryModelDetails(splModelDetails);
string strDataExpression = "ClientID = " + strClientID + " AND Title = " + strModelDetails;
DataRow[] drModelDetails = dtabModelDetails.Select(strDataExpression);

Now I’m getting a syntax error for the select statement, but I’m pretty sure my syntax is correct? Would I get this error if my select statement returned no rows?

Yes, you can add where clause to the DataTable Select method like this….

DataRow[] drModelDetails = dtabModelDetails.Select("Client ID = '" + clientId + "' AND Model Details = '" + modelDetails + "'");
