Hello guys.

I'm having a strange issue here.

I have a 3 column datagrid that is filled by a connection with the database. So far so good.

I have an extra column, of checkbox type. I need to get it's value for perfoming a bulk operation on it. Here is the catch:

When all cells are selected, it works fine. But when an user selects any cell that its not the first, software gives me a object reference exception.

Here is the code

public List<String> GetSelected()
{
    List<String> selected = new List<String>();
    foreach(DataGridViewRow row in datagrid.rows)
    {
        if ((Boolean)row.Cells[wantedCell].Value == true)
        {
            selected.Add(row.Cells[anotherCell]);
        }
    }
}

I tracked down the failure to the if-test, throwing a exception, because the value of the cell is read as null.

Any thougths?

Thanks
