Retrieve cell text by Column name

[Tito Toro]

Is it possible to retrieve the cell text by the column name?

For instance I have a ciolumn called Marketid, and I''m currently on row 5, I would like to retrieve the value for marketid on the row i;m currently on.

Thx

Hi AMX,
Is it a GridDataBoundGrid?

You could use the

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex();

to get the colindex for the appropriate column and can retrive the celltext.

this.gridDataBoundGrid1[5, this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.NameToColIndex("Col1")].Text

Best Regards,
Jay N

Hi AMX, I tried seeing the issue in the attached sample. It seems work fine in 3.0.1.0. What are you doing differently? Can you post a small sample? Thanks, Jay N Forum_Grid_7650.zip

Thanks for the sample.

I found my problem, I was having a type conversion issue.

Thanks
