Datasets to Dictionary Join?

Jan 17 2013 6:25 PM

Hello all, 

I have 2 Datasets. I've already asked how to join 2 DataSets and didn't get any answers that helped me. So I feel the easiest way to associate them now is to create a dictionary(s) for DataSet2.

The 2 different DataSets have only 1 field in common, CompanyName. So enter dicitonary.

DataSet 2 contains only 16 total records (Company). Each record (Company) has 7 rows:

<Company>
<CompanyName>Company1</CompanyName>
<Name>Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC</Name>
<MAddress1>1610 E. Saint Andrew Place</MAddress1>
<MAddress2>B150</MAddress2>
<MCity>Santa Ana</MCity>
<MState>CA</MState>
<MZip>92705</MZip>
</Company>

So when CompanyName matches, return value from Dictionary.

Do i need to create 16 Dicitonary entires with Key and Value? Do i create 1 Dictionary with variables populating on some kind of for loop? I was told that i could create my own class to store the information I need or simply set the dataset record as the value. No idea what any of those things mean. :(
