Question

In the Linq after retrieving from the dataset how can i get the column data without using the for each statement?

 var query = from alias in ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                        where alias.Field<string>("lanename") == ddlLaneController.SelectedItem.Text
                        select new
                        {
                            locname = alias["LocationName"],
                            locid = alias["locationid"]
                        };

txtStartLocation.Text = query.Select(a => a[“LocationName”]).ToString();

Can i know how can i achieve this?

Thanks,

If there is a single resulting row use Single:

txtStartLocation.Text = query.Single().locname;
