I think you are missing ".Value" before ".ToString()".

My mistake. I glanced at the code you provided and assumed you were referencing a datagridview cell instead of a datatable cell.

I think you might be missing ".ItemArray[ColumnIndex]" where "columnindex" is the position of the column.

Debugg code and Before initialization Check in Quick Watch that what exactly value of datatable cell have.

C#

//it should work. 
string value=dataTable.rows[0]["DataColumnName"].ToString();
// but you can try this. hope so it'll work.
// there is nothing wrong with your code.
// 2 as column index
string value=dataTable.rows[0][2].ToString();
