You need to make sure that the MultiSelect property of the DataGridView is set to "true" - it is by default, but if you have set it to "false" it will exhibit the behaviour you describe.

coding is behind the button, multiselect property is true.

Then you need to look at your data very carefully - make sure that at least two items are passing your test, because if MultiSelect is true then setting the Selected property does not remove the selection from any other rows.

data from database is loaded in gridview when form load, i m just searching data by clicking search button and entering data in text boxes

Oops! Sorry, I missed a bit in your code...and so did you!
Take out the line:
break;
If you want to select more than one row! :laugh:

Update your code like this

C#

bool itemFound = false;
for(i=0;i<=dataGridView1.Rows.Count-1;i++)
{
  if (dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[1].Value.ToString() == txtcscnic1.Text + "-" + txtcscnic2.Text + "-" + txtcscnic3.Text)
   {
      dataGridView1.Rows[i].Selected = true;
      itemFound = true;  
      //break; Commented this line
    }
 }

if (!itemFound)
{
   MessageBox.Show("Customer with CNIC'" + txtcscnic1.Text + "-" + txtcscnic2.Text + "-" + txtcscnic3.Text + "' does not Exist", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
