>I had to fire up VB to be sure I'd remembered the syntax correctly (and to remind myself how much I prefer C# (g)). But I don't really know whether it will work properly with the DataTable/DataView bits....

Quick scan of it looks ok, but again I'm not 100% sure I know what Marc really needs to have done.

>BTW what's your 'favorite online C#-to-VB converter' ?

I have two of them that I like:

http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeTranslator/ - translates in both directions
http://authors.aspalliance.com/aldotnet/examples/translate.aspx - C#-to-VB only
