I prefer to use something like this   int  var1   ds Tables 0  Rows 0  Field lt int  gt   ColumnName      or  int  var1   ds Tables 0  Rows 0  Field lt int  gt  3       column index

The DataSet object has a Tables array  If you know the table you want  it will have a Row array  each object of which has an ItemArray array  In your case the code would most likely be  int var1   int Parse ds Tables 0  Rows 0  ItemArray 4  ToString       and so forth  This would give you the 4th item in the first row  You can also use Columns instead of ItemArray and specify the column name as a string instead of remembering it s index  That approach can be easier to keep up with if the table structure changes  So that would be  int var1   int Parse ds Tables 0  Rows 0   MyColumnName   ToString

You can do like     If you want to access using ColumnName  Int32 First   Convert ToInt32 ds Tables 0  Rows 0   column4Name   ToString     Int32 Second   Convert ToInt32 ds Tables 0  Rows 0   column5Name   ToString       OR  if you want to access using Index  Int32 First   Convert ToInt32 ds Tables 0  Rows 0  4  ToString     Int32 Second   Convert ToInt32 ds Tables 0  Rows 0  5  ToString
