gets the row specified by the primary key value.

[visual basic] overloads public function find(object) as datarow
[c#] public datarow find(object);
[c++] public: datarow* find(object*);
[jscript] public function find(object) : datarow;
gets the row containing the specified primary key values.

[visual basic] overloads public function find(object()) as datarow
[c#] public datarow find(object[]);
[c++] public: datarow* find(object*[]);
[jscript] public function find(object[]) : datarow;
example
[visual basic, c#] the following example uses the values of an array to find a specific row in a collection of datarow objects. the method presumes a datatable exists with three primary key columns. after creating an array of the values, the code uses the find method with the array to get the particular object desired.

[visual basic, c#] note   this example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of find. for other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
[visual basic]
private sub findinmultipkey(byval mytable as datatable)
   dim foundrow as datarow
    create an array for the key values to find.
   dim findthesevals(2) as object
    set the values of the keys to find.
   findthesevals(0) = "john"
   findthesevals(1) = "smith"
   findthesevals(2) = "5 main st."
   foundrow = mytable.rows.find(findthesevals)
    display column 1 of the found row.
   if not (foundrow is nothing) then
     console.writeline(foundrow(1).tostring())
   end if
end sub
[c#]
private void findinmultipkey(datatable mytable){
    datarow foundrow;

    // set the values of the keys to find.
    findthesevals[0] = "john";
    findthesevals[1] = "smith";
    findthesevals[2] = "5 main st.";
    foundrow = mytable.rows.find(findthesevals);
    // display column 1 of the found row.
