Reference cell in datagridview

[pwomack]

Using VB2008 in a Windows application.

Currently this is what I use to reference a value in a cell in a datagridview:

sOrderNo = Me.dgvOrders.CurrentRow.Cells(15).Value

Is it possible to reference the cell value by using the column name? Such as,

sOrderNo = Me.dgvOrders.CurrentRow.Cells("OrderNo").Value

When in you code window, if you type:

Me.dgvOrders.CurrentRow.Cells(

intellisense should show a small yellowish-colored box (default). This box should have a little arrow set in it and it should say something like 1 of 3.

This means there are three overloads for that method... In the case of DataGridView.Current.Cells, there are three overloads: 1) no value given, 2) Index Number of the cell you want, 3) Text Name of the cell you want.

So...in short...yes.

Your second example is how you do it. I use VB2005 but I don't think that it changes for 2008.

I find it much easier to reference the column names than the column numbers.
