Question

I am using VS2005 for vb.net. I am getting compile error at below statement. How to fix this?

    For Each rw As DataRow In data.Rows
        For Each dc As DataColumn In stringColumns
            rw.Field(Of String)(dc).Replace("_x00D_", "") //Error showing here
        Next
    Next

Answer 1

Update 2: Up-vote the other more direct/clear answer 🙂

Update: while the following still applies, there is a DataRow.Field provided by the DataRowExtensions class; make sure it is referenced.

Because there is no member called Field defined over the DataRow type… perhaps the special Item property was meant instead?

Note in the example where it is used as an indexer (row("Name")). Neat, huh?

(Also, something should be done with the result of the Replace as strings are immutable in .NET.)

Happy coding.
