Question

I am trying to populate some text boxes on a form with data pulled from MySQL into a data set.
I cant seem to get the code right and could use some help

        string ConnectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];
        MySqlConnection connection;
        MySqlDataAdapter adapter;
        DataTable DTItems;



        connection = new MySqlConnection(ConnectionString);

        try
        {
            //prepare query to get all records from items table
            string query = "select * from spt_proposal where fr_Numer = "+ a+"";



            //prepare adapter to run query
            adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(query, connection);
            DataSet DS = new DataSet();
            //get query results in dataset
            adapter.Fill(DS);
            textBox5.Text = DS.Tables[0].Rows[0].ToString();

This does not hit the text box at all.

a in the query is a variable that is pulled from a different form

and the query should pull 32 different things from the database in a row

There are about 9 text boxes on the form that i will have to fill with different data from this row.

Anyone have a better way to do this?

Answer 1

Try:

textBox5.Text = DS.Tables[0].Rows[0][0].ToString(); 

Remember, that a Table is pretty much a two dimensional array. Your code literally gets to the 1st row in the DataSet, but doesn’t take into account the Column.
