title: Find the maximum value of a VB.Net DataTable
body: <p>I have been very stumped by this one. I have a fairly large (~1500 x ~1000) DataTable of positive and negative integers <em>only</em> that I acquired from a .csv file. For my program, I need to find the maximum value <em>of the entire table</em>, not just in a single row or column. Optimally, the code would be short and sweet, but that's not always the case ;).</p>
  
  <p>The name of my DataTable is <code>BeamMap</code> and I am trying to return a value of <code>MaxValue</code> (already declared as an integer). I can post the code I have for creating the DataTable upon request.</p>
  
  <p>Extra Credit: (not really)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to <em>quickly</em> find the location (ie., row,column) of said maximum value? So far, all of the examples I've seen check cell by cell for a predetermined value, which is rather inefficient for the number of data points that I have.</p>
