Hi Friends,
Can you please help in this I'm getting error at dt(0) saying that dt is a variable but is used like a method.
Thanks for your help

C#

private void pubSelectHL7Server()
{
  try
  {
    //-&gt; if valid ip address, no need to get from database.
    if (HL7ServerIP.Trim().Split(&#39;.&#39;).Length == 4)
      return;

    classDataSource mClsDs = new classDataSource();

    mClsDs.Add(&quot;HL7_SelectServer&quot;, &quot;@pServiceName&quot;, (Char)SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10, ServiceName);

    using (DataTable dt = mClsDs.GetRs(&quot;LABIMAGEDB&quot;, &quot;Constultation&quot;).Tables[0])
    {
      if (dt != null && dt.Rows.Count > 0)
      {
        HL7ServerIP = dt(0)("ServerIP").ToString();
        HL7SendPort = dt(0)("SendPort").ToString.Trim;
        TempLogFolder = dt(0)("TempLogFolder").ToString.Trim;
        StopSendPort = Module1.CheckNullIntegerToBoolean(dt(0)("StopSendPort"));
      }
    }
    writeMessage(&quot;ServiceName &quot; + ServiceName, true);
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    ModuleHl7.WriteExeptionLog(ex, &quot;-PubSelectHL7sERVER.  Error Getting Connection Info&quot;);
  }
}

Thanks friends for your suggestions. I have solved it below is the correct code.

HL7ServerIP = dt.Rows[0].Field<string>("ServerIP");
HL7ServerIP = dt.Rows[0].Field<string>("SendPort");
HL7ServerIP = dt.Rows[0].Field<string>("TempLogFolder");
StopSendPort = Module1.CheckNullBooleanToInteger(dt.Rows[0]["StopSendPort"]);

I have used the syntax like Variablename = dt.Rows[0].Field<string>("stringName");
it works fine for me. Thanks alot.

Solution 2

Try like this

C#

HL7ServerIP = dt.Rows[0]["ServerIP"].ToString();
HL7SendPort = dt.Rows[0]["SendPort"].ToString.Trim;
TempLogFolder = dt.Rows[0]["TempLogFolder"].ToString.Trim;

Solution 1

C#

HL7ServerIP = dt(0)("ServerIP").ToString();
HL7SendPort = dt(0)("SendPort").ToString.Trim;
TempLogFolder = dt(0)("TempLogFolder").ToString.Trim;
StopSendPort = Module1.CheckNullIntegerToBoolean(dt(0)("StopSendPort"));

Try box brackets instead -

C#

HL7ServerIP = dt[0]["ServerIP"].ToString();
HL7SendPort = dt[0]["SendPort"].ToString.Trim;
TempLogFolder = dt[0]["TempLogFolder"].ToString.Trim;

I have already try it but still the same error.

Maybe you are getting errors but you must change your code in a way that Abhinav has been mentioned.

dt is a DataTable - it has no indexer. See solution 2...

Abhinav S 19-Mar-14 4:15am

Intent is to make the OP reealize he has to use box brackets. He can figure out the rest himself.

It seems he's not :-)
