Hello,

How to get a value from selected row and cell from datagridview before deleting it?

This is my code

                string stock_code =dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
                string q = dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();

The error means that one of the objects that you use is null.
Try to find out with the debugger which object is null.

Right now your code is reversed. You delete the row and then try to read its values. Put the delete last and if you coded it right, you should get the information you want. Here is what it should look like:

C#

string stock_code =dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
string q = dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index);
