Storing a number on a form without showing the number? c#

Question

Hello people

I want to be able to store a numerical value from my datatable on my form but I don't want to show this number. I understand in order to get the column of the value I need to type "GetValue(2)". 

 

[code]

private void NavigateRecords()
        {
            DataRow dRow = ds1.Tables["Workers"].Rows[0];
            textBox1.Text = dRow.ItemArray.GetValue(2).ToString();
        }

[/code]

How would I go about storing this numerical value on my form without showing the number in a textbox?

Answer 1

Make the textbox invisible (i.e. set its visible property false)?

Answer 2

Declare a member or property like this:

object mValue;

private void NavigateRecords()
{
    DataRow dRow = ds1.Tables["Workers"].Rows[0];
    mValue = dRow[2];
}

Use a proper type instead of ‘object’.
