Why DataSet always returns null?
-
Since some experienced programmers like Dan Neely didn't get humor feeling from my post, I do need to add the following words at the bottom of my post: (Hint: the programmer set ds = null in section finally before returning his ds)

That was one of the first things I noticed :-\

A programmer told me he just learned try...catch, and found it's very powerful. Later, he found one of his methods always return null after he implemented try...catch. Here is his code:
private DataSet GetData()
{
DataSet ds = null;
try
{
ds = new DataSet();
//Get data
//And assign ds = someData
}
catch
{
//Handle some error
}
finally
{
ds = null;
}return ds;}

You are as funny as the programmer. Did you think I am looking for help from you? Read my post again carefully please!
hmmmm .... this how he read the post ... try { CheckIfPostIsInCorrectForum(); } catch { WriteWrongPostMessage(); } finaly { WriteWrongPostMessageExt(); } :) :) :) :) ;P *hehe*

A simple programming oversight. :laugh:
So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

His purpose was to clear object DataSet in section finally. But, do you guys think the DataSet will be cleared if no error is caught?
private bool CheckData()
{
DataSet ds = null;
try
{
//Get Data, and fill ds
//if there is data in the ds's table
return true;
}
catch{}
finally
{
ds = null;
}return false;}

Uhh...yes? That's the entire point of the Finally... statement. :doh:

That said, I suggest you and your cow-orker might want to start by learning what the finally block does.
