DataGrid Question

[KeyserSoze1877]

I am a newbie to VB 2005, was decent in VB 6. I have a program I am writing to get the hang on .NET so I am writing an RSS reader.

I used some code as a model to populate a datagridview as my temporary holding area of the XML config and the RSS feeds to traverse. No problem. I load my XML which has the site name and URL, the grid loads ok. But...

I want to load a combo box with the sitenames of however may sites are in the config XML.

Here's the code...

Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim filePath As String = "RSSXML.xml"
Dim dsRss As New DataSet

dsRSS.ReadXml(filePath)
dgrdRSS.DataMember = "RSSEntry"
dgrdRSS.DataSource = dsRSS

' The grid loads fine with proper data

PopulateComboBox() ' Pop Function
End Sub

Private Sub PopulateComboBox()
Dim j As Integer = 0

For j = 0 To dgrdRSS.RowCount
cmbRSS.Items.Add(dgrdRSS.Item(1, j))
j = j + 1

Next j
End Sub

It loops through fine, but in the code that I used as a tutorial the datagrad.item(1,1) showed the value of the cell at 1 column, 1 row.... but when I do it I get ALL this as output:
==========================

Try changing this

cmbRSS.Items.Add(dgrdRSS.Item(1, j))

to This

cmbRSS.Items.Add(dgrdRSS.Rows.Item(RowNum).Cells(CellNum).Value)
