Gets or sets the data stored in the column specified by index.

Public Property Item ( _
columnIndex As Integer _
) As Object
Dim instance As DataRow
Dim columnIndex As Integer
Dim value As Object
value = instance.Item(columnIndex)
instance.Item(columnIndex) = value
public Object this[
int columnIndex

public:
property Object^ Item[int columnIndex] {
Object^ get (int columnIndex);
void set (int columnIndex, Object^ value);
}
JScript does not support indexed properties.
When you set the property, an exception is generated if an exception occurs in the ColumnChanging event.
If this is an edit, see EndEdit for the exceptions that can be generated.
The following examples demonstrate the use of the Item property to get and set the value of a specific column index. The first example gets the value of the first column in any row that a user clicks in a DataGrid control.
Private Sub DataGrid1_Click _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' Get the DataTable the grid is bound to.
Dim thisGrid As DataGrid = CType(sender, DataGrid)
Dim table As DataTable = CType(thisGrid.DataSource, DataTable)
Dim currentRow As DataRow = _
table.Rows(thisGrid.CurrentCell.RowNumber)
' Get the value of the column 1 in the DataTable.
Console.WriteLine(currentRow(1))
' You can also use the name of the column:
' Console.WriteLine(currentRow("FirstName"))
End Sub
Private Sub SetDataRowValue( _
ByVal grid As DataGrid, ByVal newValue As Object)
' Set the value of the last column in the last row of a DataGrid.
Dim table As DataTable
table = CType(grid.DataSource, DataTable)
Dim row As DataRow
row = table.Rows(table.Rows.Count-1)
row(table.Columns.Count-1) = newValue
End Sub
private void DataGrid1_Click(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
// Get the DataTable the grid is bound to.
DataGrid thisGrid = (DataGrid) sender;
DataTable table = (DataTable) thisGrid.DataSource;
DataRow currentRow =
table.Rows[thisGrid.CurrentCell.RowNumber];
// Get the value of the column 1 in the DataTable.
Console.WriteLine(currentRow[1]);
// You can also use the name of the column:
// Console.WriteLine(currentRow["FirstName"])
}
private void SetDataRowValue(DataGrid grid, object newValue)
{
// Set the value of the last column in the last row of a DataGrid.
DataTable table;
table = (DataTable) grid.DataSource;
DataRow row;
// Get last row
row = (DataRow)table.Rows[table.Rows.Count-1];
// Set value of last column
row[table.Columns.Count-1] = newValue;
