Hi
when a user selects a single cell in my gridview i want to select the entire row of data. Or find the value of another cell in the same row.

for eg. I'll have 5 fields displaying in a gridview from a database.
(note : this is a datagridview that is displayed on a form in VB.net)
__________________________________________________________
name | Surname |ID number | contact Number| Gender |
----------------------------------------------------------
john| Garth |012251 | 074 551 2102 | Male |

when I select John or any other field I want to store the ID number in a variable
(even when I select the ID field)

Thank you very much.

Solution 1

U add a action to the datagrid and the int is the selectedrow
With that int u can select all the cells within that row.

VB

Private Sub dtg_CellContentClick(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dtg.CellContentClick
        Dim int As Integer = Me.dtg.CurrentCell.RowIndex
        Dim FirstColumnSelectedRecord As String
        'U can use a column index or the columnheader
        FirstColumnSelectedRecord =  Me.dtg.Item(0, int).Value.ToString
