If I understand you correctly, a cell is in editing mode and you're trying to programmatically stop editing and pass the value to the underlying datasource?

I'm using a somewhat "dirty" approach to do that in one of my applications:

if (dataGridView1.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode)    
{    
    int y = dataGridView1.CurrentCellAddress.Y;    
    int x = dataGridView1.CurrentCellAddress.X;    
    if (y > 0)      
        dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[y - 1].Cells[x];    
    else    
        dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[y + 1].Cells[x];    
    dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[y].Cells[x];    
}

That piece of code first checks whether the current cell is in edit mode. Then it changes the current cell programmatically (either to the previous row or the next row in case we're in the first row). After that, it restores the current cell selection.

You would call this code in your "File Save As" handler.
