How to: Locate Rows that Have Errors

When working with individual columns and rows of data, there may be times when a record contains an error. You can Check the HasErrors property to determine if errors exist in a DataSet, DataTable, or DataRow.

To locate a row that has errors

1. Check the HasErrors property to see if there are any errors in the dataset.

2. If the HasErrors property is true, iterate through the collections of tables, then the rows to find the row with the error.

   Private Sub FindErrors()
       Dim table As Data.DataTable
       Dim row As Data.DataRow
   
       If DataSet1.HasErrors Then
   
           For Each table In DataSet1.Tables
               If table.HasErrors Then
   
                   For Each row In table.Rows
                       If row.HasErrors Then
   
                           ' Process error here.
                       End If
                   Next
               End If
           Next
       End If
   End Sub
   

   private void FindErrors() 
   {
       if (dataSet1.HasErrors)
       {
           foreach (DataTable table in dataSet1.Tables)
           {
               if (table.HasErrors)
               {
                   foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
                   {
                       if (row.HasErrors)
                       {
                           // Process error here.
                       }
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
