can't get selected row to register

[Patrick Sullivan]

selectedItem = datagrid1.Item(selectedCell.RowNumber,
selectedCell.ColumnNumber)

lblTest.Text = selectedItem.ToString

answers come out to be row 0 column 1 everytime, the first row in the table,
no matter which row I select.
TIA

Hi,

selectedItem = datagrid1.Item(selectedCell.RowNumber,
selectedCell.ColumnNumber)

lblTest.Text = selectedItem.ToString

- I'm not using this but afaik it should work:

Dim dgc As DataGridCell = datagrid1.CurrentCell
lblTest.Text = datagrid1.Item( dgc.RowNr, dgc.ColumnNr ).ToString()


- You can also get the current DataRowView from the CurrencyManager and then
get the value for an individual cell:

Dim drv As DataRowView = DirectCast(
datagrid1.BindingContext(datagrid1.DataSource,
datagrid1.DataMember).Current, DataRowView)

lblTest.Text = drv( colIdx -or- colName ).ToString()


HTH,

Thanks Bart, I stayed up half the night trying to get it to do what I want
and finally got it, now you show a simpler looking solution. LOL, I will
have to try that out too. see my next post for what I did.
