Access a given cell of a DataTable in C#

Question

It may seem easy but I cannot find the way: dt.Rows[r].Cells[c] does not work for DataTable.

This is what I have tried. I do not have other ideas.

Why doesn't it work? What happens? – David May 09 '18 at 13:38 — David, May 09 '18 at 13:38
Now I see I must write: dt.Rows[r][c] – user1238784 May 09 '18 at 13:42 — user1238784, May 09 '18 at 13:42
Try `dt.Rows[r][c]` or `dt.Rows[r].ItemArray[c]` instead. – Sandeep May 09 '18 at 13:43 — Sandeep, May 09 '18 at 13:43
Seems that you already figured it out. – Sandeep May 09 '18 at 13:44 — Sandeep, May 09 '18 at 13:44

dt.Rows[r] should return a DataRow assuming r is an int value between 0 and dt.Rows.Count-1 inclusive.

To get a specific cell value from a DataRow you use one of it's indexers, so you don't need the .Cells - you can just do dt.Rows[r][c] where c is either an int, a string or a DataColumn
