How do find value in a datagridview

Question

I want the find the row that has a value in a given column in a datagridview. The data in is not sorted or bound to a source. Do I have to loop through every row or is there a method that will retun the row index? Thanks

Yes Thank you.

If not sorted you would have to loop through. So when you find the value return the index for that row. Objects which have a Find() method (e.g. a DataView object) only work if the data is sorted. I hope this helps.
