Help. I'm Lost. How to retrieve the selected row information from a DataGridView
-
Hi. I'm having trouble with a DataGridView. The view displays a list of customers from a query that displays their relevant ID's and names which is bound to a DataTable. When the user double clicks on the customer they want, I would like to get the customer ID of their selection. I've tried
customerDataGrid.SelectedRows(0).Cells(0).Valuebut I get an error saying thatSelectedRowsis a property but it is being used as a method. How do I achieve this. I know it is probably simple but I cannot find the info that I need on MSDN and I am at a loss. Your help is much appreciated in advance.The FoZ

Yeah, because that's what it is.
customerDataGrid.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Valueregards -
Looks like I'm still in my VB ways with curved brackets instead of square ones. Many Thanks

hey there also you should keep in mind that it is posible to have more than one selected row in a dataGridView unless otherwise set up by you in design time. if thats desired youll have to do the following...
foreach(DataGridRow myRow in myDataGrid.Rows) { // do what ever you need to do with the row }Harvey Saayman - South Africa Junior Developer .Net, C#, SQL

Yes. You can use datagridview1.MultiSelect=false for only allowing one. Brought this up to my students the other day in class.
