Properly getting string values from DataRow at specific column

I am trying to get a value from a DataRow in a specific column in a DataTable. It should return values like "abc12345", but instead returns "ListViewSubItem: {abc12345}", according to the debugger. Why is this?

foreach (DataRow row in itemsTable.Rows)
{
    // the required data is in the first column of the DataTable

    // both of the following have been tried:
    string myValue = row[0].ToString();
    string myValue = row.Field<string>(0);
}

You are doing it wrong. It should be string myValue = row[columnIndex].Text; and you are trying to get the value of the first column. You can use row["columnName"] also .

Note: I have used Text property.
