   drv = dynamic_cast<DataRowView^>(myBinding->BindingManagerBase->Current);
   
   // Assuming a column named S"custName" exists, print the value.
   Console::WriteLine( drv[ "custName" ] );
}

private void PrintValue()
{
   ControlBindingsCollection myControlBindings;
   myControlBindings = textBox1.DataBindings;

   // Get the Binding for the Text property.
   Binding myBinding = myControlBindings["Text"];

   // Assuming the data source is a DataTable.
   DataRowView drv;
   drv = (DataRowView) myBinding.BindingManagerBase.Current;

   // Assuming a column named "custName" exists, print the value.
   Console.WriteLine(drv["custName"]);
}

Private Sub PrintValue()

   Dim myControlBindings As ControlBindingsCollection = _
   textBox1.DataBindings

   ' Get the Binding for the Text property.
   Dim myBinding As Binding = myControlBindings("Text")

   ' Assuming the data source is a DataTable.
   Dim drv As DataRowView = _

   Console.WriteLine(drv("custName"))

Remarks

If the specified property does not match a binding in the collection, Item[] returns null.
