If possible can anyone advise why I would get a cast issue on the following code:

Change_LogDataSet.tblChangesRow TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable.NewtblChangesRow(); //Create new row.
TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable.Rows[0];

It gives the following error:



If I do it in a for each loop it works fine:

foreach (Change_LogDataSet.tblChangesRow TableRow in ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable)

Maybe because they are different data types, C# is verytype safe language.

The error is pretty self explanatory, you have to have explicit cast.

The foreach statement does a cast to the type, from the documentation: The type of the collection element must be convertible to the identifier type.

You just need to cast in the first example to make it work.

Please can you advise how one would cast to the type 'tblChangesRow'?

I managed to solve this. All I had to do was take out the .Rows[0] as below:

Change_LogDataSet.tblChangesRow TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable.NewtblChangesRow(); //Create new row.
TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable.Rows[0];
tbCreationDate.Text = TableRow.CreationDate.ToShortDateString();

To

Change_LogDataSet.tblChangesRow TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable.NewtblChangesRow(); //Create new row.
TableRow = ChangeDataModule.ChangesDataTable[0];
tbCreationDate.Text = TableRow.CreationDate.ToShortDateString();
