Question

 string s = dataGridView1[0, 0].ToString();                 string s2 = dataGridView1[0, 1].ToString(); 

I used the above method to access elements of datagridview. but i’m getting only these values in ‘s’ and ‘s2’ ‘DataGridViewTextBoxCell { ColumnIndex=0, RowIndex=0 }’

‘DataGridViewTextBoxCell { ColumnIndex=0, RowIndex=1 }’

but the values in datagrid are ‘1’,’hello’. how can i access it.?

Answer 1

string s = dataGridView1[0, 0].Value.ToString(); string s2 = dataGridView1[0, 1].Value.ToString(); 

You’ll notice that when you index into the DGV you get an instance of the DataGridViewTextBoxCell class. It does overload the ToString method, but not in the way you hoped/expected.

So you must get the value contained within this instance, then call ToString on it.
