Downcasting

[atmosphere]

Hey,

Question about downcasting. Ive been comparing 2 DataTables (Which have the same column makeups). Previously i was comparing like this:

if table1.rows(x).item == table2.rows(x).item ....

But I have now turned option strict and option explicit on. So now i have to cast to a specific type to compare all of the columns, but i dont know what type each column is. How can i get around this?

I'm out of comment for the rest of your question but the part where you are using two Equalities insted one is wrong ... vb.net syntax is using single equal sign to compare two values between each other ... in your case:
If table1.rows(x).item = table2.rows(x).....

Cheers
