Greetings,

Is it possible to alias an ADO.Net table? I have this one table that has a
pretty long name dsDataEntry.Tblsomebigtablename.

I tried Dim dt As DataTable = ds...Tbl...
Welll, that created table dt, but it did not populate the table. I guess I
would have to loop through the original table.

So is there a way to assign a shorter name to the table I need to work with?

Thanks,
Rich

Nevermind.

Dim dt as datatable = ds...tb..Copy

Now I have an exact copy of the table which is really what I need.
