I am using .net 2005.
I have created a GridView with one column having a command button.
The DataAdapter, DataSource, DataSet were created in code, not with wizards.
When the command button is clicked, I can't figure out the syntax for retreiving the value from the first cell in the selected row.
Can someone help?

thanks,
earlofroberts

select the 1st cell of rows

dim i as integer
i = datagrid.CurrentRowIndex()

text = Trim(datagrid.Item(i, 0))
