Getting Cell Value from Datagrid

[byrne1]

I have a datagrid that is bound to a dataset and it has 45 records showing (4 columns per record). But when I try to get one of the values it returns a blank string!!! Why?????

I'm using the following code to get the value:

strValue = DataGrid1.Items(10).Cells(1).Text

No matter what number I use for the item (save anything greater than 45) it returns a blank string.

As long as the cell is visible, you actually have a control in there as well as the cell text itself. So you have to do something like this

strValue = CType(DataGrid1.Items(10).Cells(1).Controls(1), Label).Text

This is if the control being displayed is a label (the defualt, unless you've set something else up in a template)

Hope this helps Mark
