Parameters

row

int

The line number of the row you want to get data from. The number is 1-based.

fieldMnemonic

The identifier (mnemonic) of the field.

Return Value

Depending upon the field type, it returns a string, a number or a date. See remarks for special field "TaskInGantt".

For historical reasons, this method doesn't throw any exception in case of any error. Instead, the error will be stored as a global error (if it was empty) in IGlobalErrors

See IMinute documentation for details about hidden "FreeField" field.

This method requires the internal cache to be up to date, which is ususally the case, but there are some exceptions and you need to refresh it manually, see below.

Some methods use the internal cache for retrieving the minutes data. This is for performance reasons, especially, when one minute is accessed multiple times. These are (let's name them group 1): 
GetFieldValue, 
SetFieldValue, 
SetFieldValue, 
UpdateValuesConditionally, 
IEstimateVersion.UpdateMinuteValues.

And there are some methods that modify the minutes data, but they don't update the internal cache for performance reasons. These are (let's name them group 2): 
ClearRowValues, 
DeleteRow, 
InsertRows, 
InsertSetAtRow, 
InsertSetAtRow, 
GroupRows, 
UngroupRows, 
UpdateRowsFromDatabases.

So if you use the methods from group 2, you should update the internal cache manually before you call any method from the group 1. The cached data can be updated and retrieved with GetFullData method. You can update the cache also with the IWbs.Refresh method, but is it slower, because it does much more work.
