HtmlTableCellCollection.Item Property (Int32)

 

Gets the HtmlTableCell object at the specified index from the HtmlTableCellCollection collection.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public HtmlTableCell this[
	int index
] { get; }

Parameters

index
Type: System.Int32

An ordinal index value that specifies the HtmlTableCell to return.

Property Value

Type: System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTableCell

An HtmlTableCell that represents a cell contained in the HtmlTableCellCollection.

Use this indexer to get an HtmlTableCell object from the HtmlTableCellCollection collection. You can access an HtmlTableCell object at a specified index by using simple array notation.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The collection is zero-based; therefore, the first element in the collection contains an index value of 0.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the indexer to retrieve a cell of a table, represented by an HtmlTableCell object, from the HtmlTableCellCollection collection. The cell is then updated with new content. Notice that the Cells property of a row represented by an HtmlTableRow object is the HtmlTableCellCollection collection.
