Programmatically Accessing An SQLDataSource With A SELECT COUNT(*) Query.

I've found example code of accessing an SQLDataSource and even have it working in my own code - an example would be
  Dim datastuff As DataView = CType(srcSoftwareSelected.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), DataView)
  Dim row As DataRow = datastuff.Table.Rows(0)
  Dim installtype As Integer = row("InstallMethod")
  Dim install As String = row("Install").ToString
  Dim notes As String = row("Notes").ToString
 The above only works on a single row, of course. If I needed more, I know I can loop it.
The query in srcSoftwareSelected is something like "SELECT InstallMethod, Install, Notes FROM Software"
My problem lies in trying to access the data in a simliar way when I'm using a SELECT COUNT query.
 Dim datastuff As DataView = CType(srcSoftwareUsage.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty), DataView)
 Dim row As DataRow = datastuff.Table.Rows(0)
 Dim count As Integer = row("rowcnt")
The query here is "SELECT COUNT(*) as rowcnt FROM Software"
The variable count is 1 every time I query this, no matter what the actual count is. I know I've got to be accessing the incorrect data member in the 2nd query because a gridview tied to srcSoftwareUsage (the SQLDataSource) always displays the correct value. 
Where am I going wrong here?
