Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ColumnIndex property to retrieve cell values from the data store. This example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Implement Virtual Mode in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

C#
private void dataGridView1_CellValueNeeded(object sender,
    System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellValueEventArgs e)
{
    // If this is the row for new records, no values are needed.
    if (e.RowIndex == this.dataGridView1.RowCount - 1) return;

    Customer customerTmp = null;

    // Store a reference to the Customer object for the row being painted.
    if (e.RowIndex == rowInEdit)
    {
        customerTmp = this.customerInEdit;
    }
    else 
    {
        customerTmp = (Customer)this.customers[e.RowIndex];
    }

    // Set the cell value to paint using the Customer object retrieved.
    switch (this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name)
    {
        case "Company Name":
            e.Value = customerTmp.CompanyName;
            break;

        case "Contact Name":
            e.Value = customerTmp.ContactName;
            break;
    }
}

Remarks

Use this offset with the Columns property to reference the cell that the event occurs for.
