Get the selected value of a cell

Hi,
I am getting an exception (null reference) while taking the active cell value in wingrid.

 

rowIndex = this.ultraGrid1.ActiveCell.Row.Index;

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[“CellName”].Value.ToString();This execption is obtained when the rows are filtered., and if the rows are not filtered there is no error

I'm not sure why this is happening, since the same code works for me when I tested it when all but one row was filtered out.  Is the null reference exception coming from your code (i.e. "this.ultraGrid1.Rows[rowIndex]" returning null) or from somewhere inside the grid?

6 of 1, half dozen of the other, this works for me. 

             string s = ultraGrid.ActiveRow.Cells["TransactionID"].Text;

And while I'm here, I'm on my 2nd day of evaluation.  One thing causing me confusion, and the reason I ended up here in the forums, I was expecting the above line of code to be written as

             string s = ultraGrid.ActiveRow.Columns["TransactionID"].Text;

I basically wanted to be able to read any of the column values for the currently selected row.  I guess I have to use "Cells" not "Columns" for this, but what I don't understand is, there is a "Columns" property, albeit,

            ultraGrid.ActiveRow.Band.Columns["TransactionID"]

What I don't understand is why I can't read the column value out of the columns collection.  And why "Cells" seems to be used as what I call a "Column".  Any insight on the difference between "Cells" and "Columns" in the grid would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

A column is an entire columns. It's a range of cells representing the same cell in each row. A cell is a single cell – it is the intersection of a row and a column.

Hi,
I got when I am getting exception. If I have sorted(grouped) the grid based on any column exception is thrown otherwise none.
