Answer 1

If your grid is bound to a DataTable, I believe you can just do:

// Should probably add a DBNull check for safety; but you get the idea.
long sum = (long)table.Compute("Sum(count)", "True");

If it isn't bound to a table, you could easily make it so:

var table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("type", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("count", typeof(int));

// This will automatically create the DataGridView's columns.
dataGridView.DataSource = table;

Answer 2

Use LINQ if you can.

  label1.Text =  dataGridView1.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>()
                                   .AsEnumerable()
                                   .Sum(x => int.Parse(x.Cells[1].Value.ToString()))
                                   .ToString();

Answer 3

 decimal Total = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    Total+= Convert.ToDecimal(dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells["ColumnName"].Value);
  }

labelName.Text = Total.ToString();

Answer 4

Fast and clean way using LINQ

int total = dataGridView1.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>()
                .Sum(t => Convert.ToInt32(t.Cells[1].Value));

Answer 5

Add the total row to your data collection that will be bound to the grid.

Answer 6

int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; ++i)
{
    sum += Convert.ToInt32(dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[1].Value);
}
label1.Text = sum.ToString();
