How to retrieve formatted text of a grid cell

[CamThach]

Hi Clay,
I select values from the database and display them in a grid but first I apply formatting to the values. So from the database I may get the value 5236.2389 but the grid may display $5236.24 due to my formatting.

What I want to do is retrieve the value that is displayed in the grid ($5236.24). All efforts so far of trying to access the data either from the dataset or the datagrid will yield the 5236.2389 value and not the formatted value.

Thanks in advance.

Try:

string formattedText = this.grid[row, col].FormattedText;
