CellValue.TextValue Property

Returns a string contained in a cell.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

C#

public string TextValue { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property TextValue As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A String value specifying the text value of a cell.

Remarks

Use the TextValue property to obtain the text value contained in a cell. To check whether the cell value is of the text type, use the CellValue.IsText or CellValue.Type property. If a cell value type is other than text, the TextValue property returns null (Nothing in VB). To get a string that specifies a cell value of any type as it is displayed in the cell, use the Cell.DisplayText property.

For more information on cell values, refer to the Cell Data Types document.
