Datagridviewrow using column name instead of index

Here is the code I'm using below

Dim lname As New DataGridViewColumn

lname.Name = "LastName"
lname.DataPropertyName = "LastName"
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(lname)

Dim itrow = New DataGridViewRow    
itrow.CreateCells(DataGridView1)                
itrow.Cells(0).Value = empcoll.Item(i).LastName <<works
itrow.Cells("LastName").Value = empcoll.Item(i).LastName <<error column name can't be found

I'm having trouble with using datagridviewrow.cells("column name"). Can anyone enlighten or help me?

Try this (I slightly change something to try the code if it works): 

  Dim lname As New DataGridViewColumn
  lname.Name = "LastName"
  lname.DataPropertyName = "LastName"
  lname.CellTemplate = New DataGridViewTextBoxCell 'I had to add this to my code

  DataGridView1.Columns.Add(lname)

  Dim itrow As New DataGridViewRow
  itrow = DataGridView1.Rows(DataGridView1.Rows.Add())
  itrow.Cells("LastName").Value = "Give here your Value"
