Disable DataGridView auto selecting 1st row

[Gavin Roberts]

hi all, I have a datagridview which when I populate it with data, the first row is selected by default. IIRC in .Net 1.1 the DataGrid never used to do this. Any one know how I can stop it? I've tried setting every row's Selected property to false. Thanks

First Check whether u have write any code in the Rowbound. If not please check whether selectedIndex prrperty is set to -1. I hope this will solve ur problem

there isn't a selectedIndex property and I haven't hooked any events as of yet.

.Net 2.0 with C# 2005. I am using a WinForms DataGridView.

I have tried ClearSelection and I have also set the selection mode to select a full row

[Jabeerbe]

Check the Row Template for this Line DataGridViewRow { Index=-1 }

And do what may I ask? I am unable to change it and the grid.RowTemplate.Index is read-only.

I've found that ClearSelection will only work if I use the DataSource property.

Try dataGridView1.ClearSelection(); after populating the grid with data. That should de-select anything that is selected.

DatagridView1.Rows(0).Selected = False
