    Resolved [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))
