I am trying to write a Master/detail code and can't get off to a start on it. I have been working on this this for over a week now. I have already written all the code thats Add,Update,Delete for forms for other areas of this program and all that works well.

I am trying to get the data out of each column of all the rows in a datagridview and add it to a lists, and then loop through the list pulling out the column data for each row if i can get this I know how to get it in the database. This is a 3 layer program, and I am using Class Objects. For example I have class (Trips which stores the code for the objects in this table, I have a Class called TripsDB which is dose all the database work.

Any Takers

Thanks so much

Why looping? SQL doesn't need any form of looping to get master-detail information. You'd write a single query with a join across the two tables. Something like this:

SELECT Master.Col1, Master.Col2, Detail.Col1, Detail.Col2, /*more columns*/ FROM Master INNER JOIN Detail on Master.PrimaryKeyColumn = Detail.MasterPrimaryKey
