Lets assume that you have a datatable like this. and suppose your DataTable variable name is dtLoginTable. then we can use following code to get userName. string userName = dtLoginTable.Rows[0]["UserName"].ToString(); since there is only one record in datatable i have use zero(0) as row index. Hope this helps.

Hi Methoun, I try this code to pass the datatable from one form to another form .. Form1 code using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using XsOCR; namespace OCRApplicationTest { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add( "UserId" , typeof ( int )); dt.Columns.Add( "UserName" , typeof ( string )); dt.Columns.Add( "Password" , typeof ( string )); dt.Rows.Add(1, "Ramesh" , "Palanivel" ); Form2 f2 = new Form2(dt); f2.ShowDialog(); } } } Form2 using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace OCRApplicationTest { public partial class Form2 : Form { public Form2(DataTable dt) { InitializeComponent(); label1.Text = dt.Rows[0][1].ToString(); } private void Form2_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { } } }
