Access cell value of datatable

Question

Can anyone help me how to access for example value of first cell in 4th column?

a b c d 1 2 3 5 g n m l 

for example, how to access to value d, if that would be datatable?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you need a weak reference to the cell value:

object field = d.Rows[0][3] 

or

object field = d.Rows[0].ItemArray[3] 

Should do it

If you need a strongly typed reference (string in your case) you can use the DataRowExtensions.Field extension method:

string field = d.Rows[0].Field<string>(3); 

(make sure System.Data is in listed in the namespaces in this case)

Indexes are 0 based so we first access the first row (0) and then the 4th column in this row (3)

Answer 2

string abc= dt.Rows[0]["column name"].ToString();
