Hi Genius,

I am using the following code to focus to a particular cell in datagridview.

C#

private void dgOrderDetails_CellValueChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
   if (dgOrderDetails.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name.ToString().ToUpper() == "BILLINGMONT")
   {
     dgOrderDetails.Focus();
     dgOrderDetails.CurrentCell = dgOrderDetails[dgOrderDetails.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex + 1, dgOrderDetails.CurrentCell.RowIndex];
   }
}

but my data grid cursor is not binding where i am expecting.Sorry for my English.

Please provide me a solution.

You need to do something like:

C#

dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[rowindex].Cells[columnindex];

                    grdUser.CurrentCell.Selected = true;
                    e.Cancel = true;
