How to read the value of a DataGrid cell

Hi,

What I need to do is very simple, but I cannot find the syntax.

I only need the value of a named column in the current row. As in:

dim var as string = datagrid1.columns("JobNumber").value

In VB6 that was the syntax, but 2005 does everything but the ".value"

in intellesense.

How do I get the value in the column called "JobNumber"

if you are using a datagridview you could also do this:

Dim theValue as object = Me.theDataGridView.Rows(RowIndex).Cells(ColumnName).Value

Thank you both for the response.

I finally ended up with this code (actual from the program)

defaultJobNumber = Me.dgView1.Rows(dgView1.CurrentRow().Index).Cells("Job").Value

defaultCallNumber = Me.dgView1.Rows(dgView1.CurrentRow().Index).Cells("CallNumber").Value

The function the code resides in is a button click event so I did not have the advantage of a passed parameter like "currentRow" or "currentColumn", but this works. Also I found I an using a datagridview (I didn't know there was more than one type of datagrid). Thanks for drawing my attention to this.

So Thanks for the help.
