Heh; I meant to imply that that was just an example array name.  I 
should have just left them out of the example, as they were unnecessary.

Thanx for your time.

It seems the problem was not, as I first supposed, directly related to 
the array.  Actually the example I gave compiles fine... but it wasn't 
exactly what I was doing :-P.

The actual loop is as follows:

    foreach ( DataTable table in loaded_chart.Tables )
                {
                    // Repeat for each row in the table.
                    int i = 0;

                    foreach ( DataRow row in table.Rows )
                        {                   
                            lms_table[i, 0] =
    Convert.ToSingle(row[keytext]);
                            lms_table[i, 1] = Convert.ToSingle(row["L"]);
                            lms_table[i, 2] = Convert.ToSingle(row["M"]);
                            lms_table[i, 3] = Convert.ToSingle(row["S"]);
    Console.WriteLine("Round {0}, Key = {1}, L = {2}, M = {3}, S = {4}",
    i, lms_table[i, 0], lms_table[i, 1], lms_table[i, 2], lms_table[i, 3]);
                           
                            i ++;
                       }
                }


The exception I get is:

    Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from
    source type to destination type.
    in <0x0001d> System.DBNull:System.IConvertible.ToSingle
    (IFormatProvider provider)
    in <0x00086> System.Convert:ToSingle (System.Object value,
    IFormatProvider provider)
    in <0x00016> System.Convert:ToSingle (System.Object value)
    in <0x00277> CDurry.coredurry:lms_load (System.String chart, Int32
    gender)
    in <0x0024a> consdurry:Main ()

    The weird thing is that it executes once flawlessly, giving me the 
first row of the dataset printed on the screen; the exception is thrown 
the second time around.
    The array is declared at the first line of the class as:

    static float[,] lms_table = new float[1000, 4];

    Any help?
             Thanx again,
               SigmaX
