Search DataSet for a string value

[denny1824]

I have a DataSet that is filled from a sql select statement that returns one table and most likely just a few rows.

I need a way to search the second column of the table in the DataSet to see if any of the rows match a specific string.

This is coded in C#.Net in a windows application.

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(selectString, conn);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(ds);

Thanks for any advice or direction,

I'm not hugely experienced with this but...

Wouldn't it be more correct to do another query on the database with a more specific selectString?

[denny1824]

The searching of the DataSet will be done in a loop, with a different string each iteration. I don't want to be hitting the database that many times when I already have the data I just need a way to verify if the string is in the DataSet.

I was able to come up with a solution.

foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
   {
   if (row.ItemArray[1].ToString() == searchString)
      {
      blnFound = true;
      }
   }
