Question

I have the following method which returns dataset. I am using .NET 2.0

DataSet ds = GetAllRecords();

I want to get values from each column for a particular row and bind it to a variable.
How can this be achieved?

currently the method returns all the row from the table and I have to find that particular row based on ID.

However, if that is not possible I can come with

DataSet ds = GetSpecificRecord(id);

But I still need to get values from each column and bind it to variable.
Please advice.

// Create a table 
DataTable table = new DataTable("users");
table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Id", typeof(int)));
table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string)));

table.Rows.Add(1, "abc");
table.Rows.Add(2, "ddd");
table.Rows.Add(3, "fff");
table.Rows.Add(4, "hhh d");
table.Rows.Add(5, "hkf ds");

// Search for given id e.g here 1

DataRow[] result = table.Select("Id = 1"); // this will return one row for above data 
foreach (DataRow row in result)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", row[0], row[1]);
}
