{
    string msg = String.Format("Row: {0}, Column: {1}",
        dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex,
        dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex);
    MessageBox.Show(msg, "Current Cell");
}

Private Sub getCurrentCellButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles getCurrentCellButton.Click

    Dim msg As String = String.Format("Row: {0}, Column: {1}", _

        dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex)
    MessageBox.Show(msg, "Current Cell")

Remarks

When the RowIndex property returns -1, the cell is either a column header, or the cell's row is shared.
