DataGridView How to check if a cell is empty?

Question

I'm developing a program that contains a DataGridView whitin a form, and I'm importing data to this DataGridView from a XML file. Inside this DataGridView, I'm able to add, edit and delete this data and save this changes to the XML file when a button is clicked. (There are two columns.) My issue here is that I need to check if any cell is empty when the button is clicked, and in that case, show up a MessageBox indicating this and do not let me save this changes.

I've tried for loops and more, and couldn't find anything helpful. Hope someone can help me! Thanks

    private void IPs_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXml(@"C:\Users\Administrador\source\repos\Sullair\schema.xml");
            dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
        }
    }

    private void Save()
    {
        DataTable db = (DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource;
        db.WriteXml(@"C:\Users\Administrador\source\repos\Sullair\schema.xml");
    }

    private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Save();   
    }

}
}

//take this as example when there is null value display a message show (no) //if there is not null value open file dialog

  if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(metroGrid2.CurrentRow.Cells["FileName"].Value as string))
               {
                   MessageBox.Show("no");
               }
               else
               {
                   FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
                   if (fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                   {

                       folder = fbd.SelectedPath;




           }
       }

Just do a nested loop over table cells, something like this:

private bool AreAllCellsFilled(DataTable t)
{
    if (t == null || t.Rows.Count == 0 || t.Columns.Count == 0) return true;

    for (int rowIdx = 0; rowIdx < t.Rows.Count; rowIdx++)
    {
        for (int colIdx = 0; colIdx < t.Columns.Count; colIdx++)
        {
            if (t.Rows[rowIdx][colIdx] == DBNull.Value)
            {
                MessageBox.Show($"Cell {colIdx + 1} of row {rowIdx + 1} is empty");
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    return true;
}

foreach(DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
    foreach(DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
    {
        if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(cell.Value as string))
           {
           //cell is empty
            }
            else
             {
               //cell is not empty
            }
    }
}

This works for me. to check if specific cell is empty or null.

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dataGridView_A0.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value as string))
    {
         MessageBox.Show("Null or Empty", "Results");
    }
