Add Values in Gridview Using ENTER KEY

Introduction

In this tip, I am going to show you how to add the values in gridview by pressing ENTER KEY.

Using the Code

Create an Empty Windows Form. Add a Datagridview and Textbox in the Form.

Select Key Press Event in Property Window and Name method. Paste the below code. That may do the work:

      void TextBox1KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
            {    
                {
                string dates= textBox1.Text.ToString();  // assign the Textbox value to a string
                int i=dataGridView1.Rows.Count;  // count the Number of available rows in the GridView
                int j=i-1;   			//counted the Rows minus 1 that will make you add Rows
                this.dataGridView1.Rows.Add(); // create the Rows if it is needed
                dataGridView1.Rows[j].Cells[0].Value=dates; // add the Values to the GridView
                textBox1.Text=""; //Empty the Textbox
                }
            }

Let's explain the code line by line:

int i=dataGridView1.Rows.Count; 

This line allows to Count the Number of rows available in the Gridview and it has been assigned to the Variable i.

this.dataGridView1.Rows.Add();

This code allows to create only one Row at a time.

dataGridView1.Rows[j].Cells[0].Value=dates; 

This allows us to Add the value to the gridview.

dataGridView1.Rows[RowIndex].Cells[CellIndex].Value;

Row Index may change according to the values available in the Gridview.

Or we can ignore all the above lines and use the line below.

It allow us add the Data and create Rows in the Gridview.

dataGridView.Rows.Add(datas);

I think this may help all of you.
