DataGridViewCell::FormattedValueType Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets the type of the formatted value associated with the cell.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The Value property is the actual data object contained by the cell, whereas the FormattedValue property is the formatted representation of the data. The ValueType and FormattedValueType properties correspond to the data types of these values, respectively.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the FormattedValueType property to determine the type of the cell contents. In this example, the FormattedValueType property is used to determine whether the cell contains a String before attempting to convert the value. This example is part of a larger example available in the DataGridView::SelectionChanged event.
