All,

I have a DataSet which has data that needs conditional processing.

I have the data in a ViewState

DataSet ds = (DataSet)ViewState["Components"];
DataView dv = new DataView(ds.Tables[0]);

The DataSet has 18 records. I then establish a filter

dv.RowFilter = "type <> 'RepeatControl'";

And dv.Count is correctly set to 16.

However, if I am processing through my DataView:

for(int myControl = 0; myControl < dv.Count; myControl++)
{
   controlvalue = dv.Table.Rows[myControl]["DataINeed"].ToString();

But what happens is that I can still access rows of the View which do not meet my filter condition (which happen to be rows 0 and 1 in this case). What do I need to do to make this work correctly? dv.Count is set to 16, but I can still look at dv.Table.Row[16] and dv.Table.Row[17].

I do notice that if I set my filter to

dv.RowFilter = "type = 'RepeatControl'";

dv.Count is set to 2 and I cannot access any data above dv.Table.Row[1]?

Confused,
Doug
