DisplayMember will give you the name of the property (or column) in the datasource that the control is bound to.<br />
<br />
To get the Text that is displayed in the cell, you could use the Value property and do a lookup for the corresponding Display Value in the datasource.<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
<br />
Somevariable = CDbl(.Cells(&quot;column_name&quot;)<wbr />.Value.ToS<wbr />tring)<br />
''lookup the Display value in the datasource using the Value<br />
Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables.Item(0).Rows.Fin<wbr />d(Somevari<wbr />able)<br />
Dim DisplayValue As String = dr.Item(&quot;SomeColumn&quot;)

Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables.Item(0).Rows.Find(Somevariable)
Dim DisplayValue As String = dr.Item("SomeColumn")

I have a datagridview comboboxcolumn that has a valuemember and a displaymember. &nbsp;The valuemember is saved in the database and I need to use displaymember for a calculation. &nbsp;All I can seem to get is the valuemember for the database. &nbsp;<br />

I have a datagridview comboboxcolumn that has a valuemember and a displaymember.  The valuemember is saved in the database and I need to use displaymember for a calculation.  All I can seem to get is the valuemember for the database.  

Somevariable = CDbl(.Cells("column_name").Value.ToString) --> This gets me the valuemember.  What can I do to get the Displaymember and assign its value to a variable?

Datagridview ComboboxColumn value

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
