I am trying to convert the numbers from one datatable (dt) which are string values, to another datatable (dt1) that I want to be int. But I am getting an error:
'Cannot implicity convert type int to object[]'

DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
DataRow row;
int obj1;
for ( int x= 0; x<dt.Rows.Count; x++)
{	int.TryParse(dt.Rows[x][0].ToString(), out obj1);
                            
	row = dt1.NewRow();
	row.ItemArray = obj1;
	dt1.Rows.Add(row);
}

Specific at obj1. I tried to use row.ItemArray = (int)obj1; but does not works...

row.ItemArray is an object[] I think, you can't assign an int to it. I'm a bit confused by your code.

to get rows from a table

dt.Rows

where dt is a DataTable

to access fields in a row where dr is a DataRow

int val = (int)dr["myIntField"];

or

int val = (int)dr[0]; // the first field

This might come in handy

I tried that, but it give me another error: 'Cannot implicitly convert type object to object[]. An explicit conversion exists.'

Ops, sorry! Try this:

row.ItemArray = new object[1];
row.ItemArray[0] = (object)obj1;
