Seems like a really simple thing, but all of the research and everything I have tried just doesn't seem to work. I am using VS2013 and .Net 4.5
I have a 2 column WPF DataGrid that isn't using databinding. The grid is already populated with data from a SQLCE table and I want to select a row and return as a string the data in the cell of column 0 of the selected row.
I can see that the data is there in the debug watch window
I just don't know how to access that value so that I can use it.
private void dgPickList_MouseDoubleClick( object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e ) { selectItem(); this.Close(); } private void selectItem() { _pickedItem = dgPickList.SelectedItem.ToString(); }
This code obviously doesn't work so well but it does let me see the cell data in a Non-Public members _values field.
I really appreciate any help.

use DataGrid.SelectedCells instead. This will return a collection of selected cells in which you can find the column you need to read.
eg:
var celldata=dataGrid1.SelectedCells[0];
var val=celldata.Column.GetCellContent(celldata.Item);
