Start by specifying why you need to know the DataRow's position in the DataTable's collection of DataRows. It may be there is a better design solution to the functional requirement. If you use Visual Studio -> Help -> Search -> DataRow members you'll see what can be done with a DataRow object ditto for DataTable and it doesn't seem that you can get a property that is the position of the DataRow in the DataTable's collection thereof.

Sorry my question wasn't so clear. I want to know the Index Row inside the DataTable. I want to retreieve an int value. Is this possible? Thanx.
