[RESOLVED] Is there a way to store a custom object in a DataRow or DataColumn?

Is there a way to store a custom object in a DataRow or DataColumn?

Basically I'm looking for the equivalent of a tag property for a DataRow or DataColumn. I looked into ExtendedProperties for the DataColumn but you can only store strings there.

Code:

---


      drNewPathRow = dsOutputGrid.Tables("dtPathElements").Rows.Add()
      elm = pth.Elements(iElements)
      drNewPathRow(0) = elm.Name
     
        '  drNewPathRow.tag = elm .... I wish!

You can extend the properties of a datagridview not sure about colums

I appreciate the input but I really need to attach the object directly to the datarow or datacolumn object versus accessing the datagrid ( in this case an infragistics ultragrid )

While this may not be a solution that you'd want to hear, you could create a List of whatever object it is that you're wanting to store and have that coordinate with your columns/rows. Any time you adjust the column/row collection, you'd adjust it's List.

You could add a column of type object to the datatable,

Code:

---

        dt.Columns.Add("objCol", GetType(Object))
