I am missing row property in my DataTable (version 1.10.0)

Necqui

I am creating my datatable dynamically using the code snippet below.
Everything appears fine in my UI, however, my cTable variable does not contain the row property.
Therefore, I cannot delete rows with the following syntax:

cTable.row($(currentRow).parents('tr')).remove().draw(); // gives an error. row is undefined
cTable.fnDeleteRow($(currentRow).parents('tr')); // works fine; but I think it's using the compatibility mode from previous version of dt

var cTable // Global variable
.
.
cTable = $('#tblComment').dataTable({
"columnDefs":
[
{
"targets": 0,
"className": "editRow1"
},
{
"targets": 1,
"className": "deleteRow1"
}
],
"paging": false,
"info": false,
"ordering": false,
"jQueryUI": true,
"autoWidth": false,
});

function format(d) {
var tr = [];
tr.push("

"); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); $.each(d.ListComments, function (i, item) { tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); tr.push(""); }); tr.push(""); tr.push("

		DateEntered	User	Action	ExternalReference	Note
		" + item.DateEntered + "	" + item.User + "	" + item.Action + "	" + item.ExternalReference + "	" + item.Note + "

");

var tblRow = tr.join('');
return tblRow;

}

As you can tell this is a child table created dynamically.
The parent table works fine with this syntax:
pTable.row($(currentRow).parents('tr')).remove().draw();

I would like to use the same syntax for the child table.
Thanks.
