Hey Erwin, You can Use the Datagrid MouseUp Event for capture the selected value as follows: Private Sub DGGuest_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles DGGuest.MouseUp Dim mygrid As DataGrid = CType(sender, DataGrid) Dim htiUsers As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = mygrid.HitTest(e.X, e.Y) Dim strID As String Dim iSelectedRow As Integer Select Case htiUsers.Type Case DataGrid.HitTestType.RowHeader iSelectedRow = htiUsers.Row Me.DGGuest.Select(iSelectedRow) strID = Me.DGGuest.Item(iSelectedRow, 0) MsgBox(strID) End Select End Sub This will give the value of the 0th column cell In this case this GuestID Hope This works If any doubt then mail me.
