another simple datagrid question

[WebBuilder451]

how can i get the value from a specific column from the selected row of a
datagrid

in the sub i can get the datakey for item command
Me.dgMems.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex) will get me the key field, but what if
i want the value of column(2). I get nothing when i use
Me.dgMems.Columns(2).ToString(). View state is on.

thanks
(and i hope i don't have to refill the dataset on each select!)

If you use the OnItemCommand, you can pickup the value quite easily using
e.Item.Cells[2].Text;
or
((TextBox)e.Items.FindControl("tb")).Text; //If it is not a
<Asp:BoundColumn you'll need to cast it

try this (assuming Label is the first control and language c#):

string the_value = (MyRow.Cells[2].Controls[0]) as Label.Text;
