Answer 1

Code Example : Reading data from DataGridView and storing it in an array

int[,] n = new int[3, 19];
for (int i = 0; i < (StartDataView.Rows.Count - 1); i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < StartDataView.Columns.Count; j++)
    {
        if(this.StartDataView.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString() != string.Empty)
        {
            try
            {
                n[i, j] = int.Parse(this.StartDataView.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString());
            }
            catch (Exception Ee)
            { //get exception of "null"
                MessageBox.Show(Ee.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

string[,] myGridData = new string[dataGridView1.Rows.Count,3];

int i = 0;

foreach(DataRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)

{

    myGridData[i][0] = row.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
    myGridData[i][1] = row.Cells[1].Value.ToString();
    myGridData[i][2] = row.Cells[2].Value.ToString();

    i++;
}

Hope this helps....

Answer 3

something like

for (int rows = 0; rows < dataGrid.Rows.Count; rows++)
{
     for (int col= 0; col < dataGrid.Rows[rows].Cells.Count; col++)
    {
        string value = dataGrid.Rows[rows].Cells[col].Value.ToString();

    }
} 

example without using index

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGrid.Rows)
{ 
    foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
    {
        string value = cell.Value.ToString();

    }
}

 private void HighLightGridRows()
 {            
     Debugger.Launch();
     for (int i = 0; i < dtgvAppSettings.Rows.Count; i++)
     {
         String key = dtgvAppSettings.Rows[i].Cells["Key"].Value.ToString();
         if (key.ToLower().Contains("applicationpath") == true)
         {
             dtgvAppSettings.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
         }
     }
 }

Answer 5

If you wish, you can also use the column names instead of column numbers.

For example, if you want to read data from DataGridView on the 4. row and the "Name" column. It provides me a better understanding for which variable I am dealing with.

dataGridView.Rows[4].Cells["Name"].Value.ToString();

Hope it helps.
