Store grid value in vb.net

[#1]

I need to get the values from a SAP grid into vb.net.

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtCN_PROJN-LOW").Text = "Pxxxxxxx"

session.FindById("wnd[0]").SendVKey(0)

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtCN_NETNR-LOW").Text = 9999999

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtCN_NETNR-LOW").SetFocus

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtCN_NETNR-LOW").CaretPosition = 7

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtP_DISVAR").Text = "/MJ CN53N"

session.FindById("wnd[0]").SendVKey(0)

session.FindById("wnd[0]/tbar[1]/btn[8]").press

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").CurrentCellColumn = "LST_ACTDT"

session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell") 'This line refers to a following grid

I need to access the schd date if Activity = DAFC , Iève been trying every which way for the past week with NO success.

Yet in VBA access I simply do gridview = session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell")

Does anyone have a hint as to where I can look ?

So far I've tried setting this at the start.

Public Property GridView2 As GridView

then GridView2 = session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell")

But this method gives System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type

Then I tried to create a gridview on the form and create all the fields.

GridView1 = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell")

But I also get System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type

And I also tried to get the value individually

Dim i As Integer

Dim dstr As String

For i = 0 To 3

dstr = session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/cntlALVCONTAINER/shellcont/shell").GetCellValue(i, "VORNR") ' dt.Rows.Add(dr)

Next i

And it says dstr is not declared!

Does anyone have a hint as to where I can look ?
