GetValue Method (SheetView)

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function GetValue( _
   ByVal row As Integer, _
   ByVal column As Integer _
) As Object

'Usage
 
Dim instance As SheetView
Dim row As Integer
Dim column As Integer
Dim value As Object
 
value = instance.GetValue(row, column)

public virtual object GetValue( 
   int row,
   int column
)

Parameters

row: Row index of the cell
column: Column index of the cell

Return Value

Object containing the unformatted value in the cell

This method returns the unformatted value of the cell.

Compare the values returned from this method with the values returned from the GetText method. For example, for date-time cells, the GetText method returns the formatted date and time value; the GetValue method returns a DateTime object for the date and time.

Besides using this method, you can get or set the data in a cell using various properties of the sheet (SheetView object) or properties of the cell (Cell object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods and Handling Data Using Cell Properties.

Remember that the data may be displayed differently in a cell depending on the cell type. For more information, see Understanding Cell Type Effects on Displaying Data.

This example returns the value for the specified cell.

C#

FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView sv;
sv = FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView;
object o;
o = sv.GetValue(1, 0);
Response.Write("The value in the cell is " + o.ToString());

Visual Basic

Dim sv As FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView
sv = FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView
Dim o As Object
o = sv.GetValue(1, 0)
Response.Write("The value in the cell is " & o.ToString())
