Possible unintended reference comparison; to get a value comparison, cast the left hand side to type 'string'

Frank,
One more bit of advice since you seem to be getting started. Even with casting the left side of the equation appropriately, you will get an error if dt is null. You may already have that covered but I thought I'd throw it in the hat. That still catches me fairly often, even after several years of working with .NET. Old habits die hard.
