event

Hi,

In the code below, I try to see if a certain column of a DataGridView was clicked, and run a report if so.

Private Sub dgv_Report_CellMouseDoubleClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles dgv_Report.CellMouseDoubleClick
        Dim i As Integer = -1
        Dim s As String = String.Empty
        Try
            'Get the drill down report for the column that was double clicked
            If Not e.ColumnIndex < 0 And Not e.RowIndex < 0 And DrillDownColumns.Count > 0 Then
                For Each ddc As DrillDownColumn In DrillDownColumns
                    'Check if one of the trigger columns was clicked
                    s = ddc.TriggerColumn
                    i = CType(sender, DataGridView).Columns(columnName:=s).DisplayIndex
                    If i = e.ColumnIndex Then
                        'Get the parameters
                        For Each p As SqlParameter In ddc.Parameters
                            p.Value = CType(sender, DataGridView).Columns.Item(p.SourceColumn)
                        Next
                        'Run the drill down report
                        RunSubReport(DDC:=ddc)
                    End If
                Next
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            EC(ex)
        End Try
    End Sub

The line:

i = CType(sender, DataGridView).Columns(columnName:=s).DisplayIndex

throws an

error.

When I check in debug, the sender has 9 columns though, including a column by the name that I am testing with.

Can someone please explain this to me, or tell me what it is I am missing?

What I have tried:

MsgBox(CType(sender, DataGridView).Columns.Count.ToString) --> returns a number > 0

I have checked that the column name that I am searching for actually exists.

Otherwise staring myself blind I guess.
