I had a question earlier that asked how to get the value from the datagridview cell that I wanted and for the most part I think I have it figured out. I am fairly certain I am going to the right place, but I am getting weird values for what would be in the cells - values that I do not have in them.

For Small Text Fields i get: "text"
Large Text Fields i get: "lrgText"
Integer: "5"
Double: "6"
Date: "1/1/1900"
Boolean (tinyInt): "1"

I have checked around and it seems that I am doing this correctly, but I can't seem to get the values I want, any suggestions are appreciated. I reposted the code that I am using below.

	Private Sub fillTextBoxes()
		Dim columnX As DataGridViewColumn
		Dim rowX As Integer
		Dim cVal As String = ""
		Dim i As Integer = 0

		rowX = dgView.CurrentRow.Index

		While i < Me.portTabs.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(0).Controls.Count
			For Each columnX In dgView.Columns


				If Me.portTabs.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(i).Name = columnX.Name Then
					cVal = dgView.Item(columnX.Name, rowX).Value
					'rowX.Cells(columnX.Name.ToString).Value()
					MsgBox(cVal)
					Me.portTabs.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(i).Controls.Item(0).Text = cVal
					Exit For
				End If

			Next
			i = i + 1
		End While
	End Sub

For this line:

cVal = dgView.Item(columnX.Name, rowX).Value

try this:

cVal = dgView.Item(columnX.Name, rowX).Value.ToString

Also, you may want to see if you can use the column index instead of the name. Remember that just about all indexes in VB and 0-based.

I've tried both, using the index and adding the ToString, this still returns the same values, even if the cell is empty. I don't even know where it is getting the values from, as they are nowhere else in my code like that. Thanks for the suggestions though, I will continue looking.

{Form}.{Name of DataGridView}({Column Index}, {Row Index}).Value = "Hello" 'Sets the cell to Hello
ReadValue={Form}.{Name of DataGridView}({Column Index}, {Row Index}).Value ' Reads back to value

I realized what I was doing, see I have multiple datagridviews in the form, one for each table actually, and I was using the wrong one, I fixed it by declaring a new datagridview object in the function and then setting it equal to the datagridview I would be using, this way it stays semi-dynamic, and I am using the same one.. like this:

Dim dataGridV As DataGridView = Me.portTabs.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0).Controls.Item(1).Controls.Item(0)

I still don't know where it got those values btw
