Pasting excel data into a blank DataGridView - Index out of range exception

Question

I have an excel sheet with the following:

So, what I am trying to achi

Answer 1

After some digging around, I found that I have to add columns first, then add a new row, get the row index of the newly created row, and then set the cell values.

Here's the updated code:

DataObject o = (DataObject)Clipboard.GetDataObject();
if (o.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text))
{
    if (myDataGridView.RowCount > 0)
        myDataGridView.Rows.Clear();

    if (myDataGridView.ColumnCount > 0)
        myDataGridView.Columns.Clear();

    bool columnsAdded = false;
    string[] pastedRows = Regex.Split(o.GetData(DataFormats.Text).ToString().TrimEnd("\r\n".ToCharArray()), "\r\n");
    foreach (string pastedRow in pastedRows)
    {
        string[] pastedRowCells = pastedRow.Split(new char[] { '\t' });

        if (!columnsAdded)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < pastedRowCells.Length; i++)
                myDataGridView.Columns.Add("col" + i, pastedRowCells[i]);

            columnsAdded = true;
            continue;
        }

        myDataGridView.Rows.Add();
        int myRowIndex = myDataGridView.Rows.Count - 1;

        using (DataGridViewRow myDataGridViewRow = myDataGridView.Rows[myRowIndex])
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < pastedRowCells.Length; i++)
                myDataGridViewRow.Cells[i].Value = pastedRowCells[i];
        }
    }
}

}

And here it is working:

Happy to accept criticisms and useful tips on improving this. This code is quite slow...
