Hello All,

I want to fill my DataTable with the current data displayed in DataGridView/ListBox.
In c# i used to write:

DataTable dt = (DataTable) grdData.DataSource

But here i am using VB.Net and i am very new to it.
I tried to search on google but everywhere i am finding how to assign DataTable to a datagridview.
I even tried this:

Dim dt as DataTable
dt = grdData.DataSource As DataTable

but its not working.

Can anybody tell me how to do this in VB.Net.

Thanks,
Nagendra.
