Question

How to get the Combobox selected item text which is inside a DataGridView?
I have tried using the below code:

dataGridView1.Rows[1].Cells[1].Value.ToString()

But, this gives the value associated with this cell, not the Combobox selected item text.
I also tried this:

DataGridViewComboBoxCell cell = dataGridView1[1,1] as DataGridViewComboBoxCell;
string value = cell.Value.ToString();

But, this also didn’t help.

I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

Let’s say, we have a Combobox with text as No and Yes and the values as 0 and 1 respectively. What I want to get here’s the text Yes or No, when the Combobox is changed. But what I am getting is the values 0/1 using the above codes. Hope that makes things clear.

UPDATE:

Ok, so I have been working on this issue and after lots of efforts and with help from my fellow members, I have been able to resolve the issue and get the required solution:

Here’s the solution:

string SelectedText = Convert.ToString(dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[1].FormattedValue.ToString());

To get selected value and selected text of Combobox in DataGridView try following Code

string SelectedText = Convert.ToString((DataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells["dgcombocell"] as DataGridViewComboBoxCell).FormattedValue.ToString());
int SelectedVal = Convert.ToInt32(DataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells["dgcombocell"].Value);
