datatable casting issue

[chris123321]

dttestreport = directcast(gf.SelectDistinct(tdtReportInfo), dsReportData.ReportInfoDataTable

dttestreport, tdtReportInfo are all of typed ReportInfoDataTable. gf.SelectDistinct returns an untyped dataTable. So what I want to do is cast the untyped table as ReportInfoDataTable.

The error that is being returned is "Specified Cast Is Not Valid."

Any suggestions?

I don't think you can as it isn't the same type.

what would the work around be?

I'd say you would either create it as the correct type initially or, if you can't, loop through the rows and add them to a new instance of the correct object type.
