I've got 3 questions. Need help please,

Is there any best way of doing it

2. What is the best/common practice of searching a record (to see if it existed)

Thanks for the reply,

I thought there was a simple way such as object[]=int[];

I'm new to this C#. language.

I find a lot of ways to search a record in a database. The one that I just knew is by using ExecuteScalar(). Do you think this is the best/common way of searching a record in a dbo or there are other better ways

Thanks

Thanks Matt,

Is this what you meant it doesnt work or there is a mistake in the following code

int[,] sourceIntArray=new int[3,5];

// filled up the array

object[,] targetObjArray=new object[3,5];

targetObjArray=(object[,])sourceIntArray;

1: How about the most obvious solution

int[,] ints = ...

object[,] objs = new object[5,3];

for (int i = 0: i < 5; i++) for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) objs[i, j] = ints[i, j];

2: Not sure I understand the question.

3: A SAFEARRAY is a self describing array type used in the world of COM and OLE automation.
