How to Get Values from Datagridview row

I have a datagridview on a form which is bound to a dataset. When the user selects a row I want to get teh values from two of the columns in that row.

I am able to use the following code to get a value a place it in the variable varTransID.

varTransID = TransactionsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(0).Value

However, I am afraid that if the user rearranges the columns then the the column reference will pull fromt he wrong column. IS there any way to reference the column title so that I am sure I get teh right value. Perhaps something like this:

varTransID = ClientsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells("TransactionID").Value

Unfortunately the program fails and says it cannot find the column called TransactionID in the above line. IS there another way

Thanks

    Check out the .designer.vb file, there should be variables for the columns, like transactionIdDataGridViewTextBoxColumn. They have a Index property you can use:

    clientsDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells(transactionIdDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.Index).Value
