How to test if a DataSet is empty?


I'm modifying someone else's code where a query is performed using the following:

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlString, sqlConn);
da.Fill(ds);

How can I tell if the DataSet is empty (i.e. no results were returned)?


Solution

  • If I understand correctly, this should work for you

    if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 0)
    {
        //
    }
