>>Hi Kevin,
>>I am using SQL 2005 for the project I am working on (per customer's spec). I guess I will have to 'manually' create a dataset/datatabe of 1 row and pass it to the stored procedure. Another idea I have is to create a ArrayList of pairs (column name and value) and pass it to the stored procedure. This way I can create somewhat a generic procedure for updating. But I don't know if ArrayList type can be read by stored procedure.

Thank you for your input, John. Do I understand correctly that you populate a datatable of a dataset, right? (I thought that datatable cannot exist without a data set but I am not sure). But what you are doing is pretty much what I am trying to learn to do.
