Hi,
Please I have trying to code this scenario. I have designed a datagridview which loads data from a database (SQL server). Now I want to always click on a row in the datagridview to show the content in pop-up form. For instance I click on a row and an update form shows.
I do this easily in WPF but I have headaches when I try to do this in winform.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Solution 1

You will need a DataGrid click event (DoubleClick or maybe CellClick) and show your popup as a dialog > ShowDialog()

C#

private void DataGrid_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 PopUpForm popupform = new PopUpForm(Pass Parameter);
 popupform.ShowDialog(); 
 //Reload you DataGrid here
}

Parameter you are going to pass should be defined on your PopUpForm like

C#

public PopUpForm (type Parameter)
{
 InitializeComponent();
 parameter = Parameter; // assuming parameter is defined
}

Hope it helps

In addition, if the expected parameter (by the PopUpForm) has been loaded to the DataGrid, you can get it...
ToWhateverType Parameter = Convert.ToWhateverType(DataGrid.SelectedRows[0].Cells["WhateverIsLoaded"].Value)

Here my sample code

tblData selected = gvData.SelectedRows as tblData;
           if (selected == null)
           {
   SLabel.Text = "Record not Selected. Select record!";
           }
           else
           {
               DataUpdate dataUpdate = new DataUpdate(selected);
               dataUpdate.ShowDialog();
           }
this works perfectly with wpf.
Can you get me a sample code to demonstrate between a datagridview and a form?
Thanks.

I gave you a sample above, did you got stuck when trying it? I know, you didn't try it, you were looking in your WPF.
if (gvData.SelectedRows.Count == 0)
{
SLabel.Text = "Record not Selected. Select record!";
}
else
{
//Do something, check solution
}
