Hi -

I am probably missing something obvious, but I am unable to get to the Cell instances [that are inside the grid]. I am using the control in unbound mode for performance reasons. 

Neither row nor column classes have anything like .Cells property. There are CellStyles and everything else imaginable, but no cells. There is no Cell constructor that will take row and column that I can find.... How do I get a cell reference in a populated unbound grid so that I can modify its contents? Thank you.

Thank you - I was missing the difference between Row and Datarow. Everything is working properly now.

You can learn how to work with a grid in unbound mode from this article:

Unbound Grid

There is a Simple Demos sample that comes with Elegant Grid, which can be helpful. It contains a number of grids including those in unbound mode (e.g. Click Counter).

Here is an example of how you can get the value of a cell at position [0,0]:

// Get row 0
DataRow dataRow = ClickCountGridControl.Rows[0] as DataRow; 

// Get text cell at [0,0]
TextCell textCell = dataRow.Cells[ ClickCountGridControl.Columns[0] ] as TextCell; 

MessageBox.Show( textCell.DisplayValue.ToString() );
