Hi mates !!!
I am using this.

C#

DataTable objDt = new DataTable();
string a = objDt.Rows[0][0].ToString();
string b = objDt.Rows[1][0].ToString();
string c = objDt.Rows[2][0].ToString();

Query may return depends, that means may be 1,2 or 3. until 3 rows.

If query returns 2 rows, string c = objDt.Rows[2][0].ToString(); this statement has error.

Please Help

you could have used Convert.Tostring()

It allows Null values and does not throw exception

Do a row count check before you access a row. So basically you check if a row exist or not before accessing it.

C#

string a , b, c;
if (objDt.Rows.Count > 0)
    a = objDt.Rows[0][0].ToString();
if (objDt.Rows.Count > 1)
    b = objDt.Rows[1][0].ToString();
if (objDt.Rows.Count > 2)
    c = objDt.Rows[2][0].ToString();

Hi,

ofcourse, datatable will throw error, if you try to access third row if the row count is 2.

if Row count is 2, then row index 0,1 can only be accessible. but you are trying access index 2, which exceeds the no. of rows.

so, string c = objDt.Rows[2][0].ToString() throw error if the row count is 2.

happy coding.:-)
