Hi

you can use dataview to get your specific column

C#

DataView view = new DataView(dataset.Tables[0]);
DataTable cityColumn = view.ToTable(true, "City");
DataRow[] myRows = cityColumn.Select();


Now you can iterate your rows
Hope this helps

Thanks

I would have used Linq, although its not 'that easy' - I couldnt find a single step method .. none of this has been tested or even compiled, its just a rough idea of a possible way

C#

// Given :-
// a DataSet ds
// a Table In The DataSet "MyTable"
// a Column Within the Table With The Column Name ‘City’

DataTable myDataTable = ds.Tables["MyTable"];

// Build a Linq Query
// One Could Include Other Filter Conditions Here 
IEnumerable<DataRow> query =
    from myDataRow in myDataTable.AsEnumerable()
    select myDataRow;

// A List To Hold ALL the City Values (We filter this later)
List<String> Cities = New List<String>();

// This Executes The Linq Query - In This Case We just capture 
// The Value of the City Column 
foreach (DataRow dr in query)
{
    Cities.Add(dr.Field<string>("City"));
}

// Roughly the end condition 
List<String> filteredCityList = Cities.Distinct();

NB : This was entered from my MacBook, I'd be careful of copying and pasting it - retype it is better, it looks like the MacBook has entered some strange quotes for example
