Updated: I changed a string element for the better that made it think it was a dateTime, but now I'm getting a SyntaxErrorException at runtime. I'm using backslashes for file directory locations, and it is my primary key, but appearently I can't do that?

System.Data.SyntaxErrorException was unhandled

And my code that is erroring out is this:

public DataSet FileCompare(DataTable dtbScanResults)
        {
            //create the dataset
            DataSet dsFileCompareResults = new DataSet("FileCompareResults");

            //add the tables to the data set
            dsFileCompareResults.Tables.Add(dtbScanResults);
            dsFileCompareResults.Tables.Add(CreateNewFileNameTable("FileNameFlags"));

            //search the dtb results for differing files
            foreach(DataRow drPrimaryRow in dtbScanResults.Rows) {
                if((bool)drPrimaryRow["FlaggedFile"] != true)
                {
                    foreach(DataRow drComparedRow in [B]dtbScanResults.Select(drPrimaryRow["FileDirectoryLocation"].ToString())[/B])
                    {

....

Bolded is the line that errors.

Other information that may be relevant:

• The DataTable that is put in as a parameter has 7 Columns. The first 6 are string types, and the last is a bool type.
• The primary keys of the table are "FileFullPath" and "FileDirectoryLocation" which are both string types. FileFullPath is unique, but FileDirectoryLocation is not.
• The string returned from dtbScanResults.Select(drPrimaryRow["FileDirectoryLocation"].ToString() is "//export//", it is /export/ in the DataTable

Bah, yet again, I solved it myself. Sorry for wasting your time if you tried to help at all. The parameters in the DataTable.Select wanted an expression, I just gave what I wanted to search and assumed it would know what to search.
