how to get selectedvalue from DataGridViewComboBoxColumn?

Question

i have a datagridview which has a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn for unit i want to get the selectedvalue of each DataGridViewComboBoxColumn how could i get this?

Answer 1

You can use this -

dataGridView1.Rows["YourRowNumber"].Cells["YourColumnNameOrNumber"].Value;

Answer 2

dataGridView1.Rows["RowNumber"].Cells["ColumnNameOrNumber"].Value will return value of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn but dataGridView1.Rows["RowNumber"].Cells["ColumnNameOrNumber"].FormattedValue will return Displaying text of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn ...

It is useful when our displaying text is different from value we are setting ... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcell.formattedvalue(v=vs.110).aspx

Answer 3

If you are looping through the grid then you should be interested in getting the FormattedValue of the Combobox cell since that would be actual persisted value of the selected combobox item

dataGridView1[colIndex,rowIndx].FormattedValue
