Question

I’m making program which sends products to other ‘users/departments’ when one department is finished. So I’m trying to incorporate arrays for the specified list of departments the product should go to next.
I haven’t got any code yet, as I’m still finding my bearings... but I was wondering if

Is it possible to create an array from a singular cell from the selected row in the datagridview which would determine where to go next.

What I have tried:

Creating an array from list view. Not much information online

Can you be more specific an provide more details about your issue?
At this moment your question is completely unclear.

At the moment, I want to know how to make an array using the items in the cell that I have

You're still not being clear. For example: a cell will hold a single visible item - in what way do you want to convert that to an array?
- Why do you want an array?
- What do you mean by a department being "finished"
It sounds as if you are trying to create a workflow - is that the case?

The cell will hold multiple items like ... ‘analysing, cleaning, fixing, repairing’.
So when the ‘analysing’ department have finished analysing, the product moves to the ‘cleaning’ department
I thought an array would be the best way to do this with. Is that not so?

Yes, I am trying to create a workflow. Thank you

That's not multiple items, it's a single string. As said, a cell can only hold a single thing.

I wouldn't use an array for this, but a special kind of array called a Queue[^] - at least for a simple workflow.

You should probably read up on patterns that could help
The "Chain of Responsibility" pattern - Understanding and Implementing Chain of Responsibility Pattern in C#[^]
or possibly a State pattern Understanding and Implementing State Pattern in C#[^]
or possibly a Pipeline pattern Simple Pipeline Implementation in C#[^]

Definitely do not store the workflow as a comma-separated item in a single-cell of a datagridview!

Hopefully the articles I listed (they are all here on CodeProject) will help to get you started
