Datagridview full row selection but get single cell value

Question

I have a datagridview that is a full row select. How would I grab the data from only a certain cell no matter what cell in the row was clicked on since it highlights the ent

Answer 1

I know, I'm a little late for the answer. But I would like to contribute.

DataGridView.SelectedRows[0].Cells[0].Value

This code is simple as piece of cake

Answer 2

you can get the values of the cell also as the current selection is referenced under CurrentRow

dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cell[indexorname].FormattedValue

Here you can use index or column name and get the value.

Answer 3

for vb.net 2013 i use

DataGridView1.SelectedRows.Item(0).Cells(i).Value

where i is the cell number

Answer 4

For those who could not fire the click event, they may use following code

public Form1()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                this.dataGridView1.CellClick += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventHandler(this.dataGridView1_CellClick);
            }

Answer 5

If you want to get the contents of selected cell; you need the index of row and cell.

int rowindex = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
int columnindex = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex; 

dataGridView1.Rows[rowindex].Cells[columnindex].Value.ToString();

Answer 6

To get one cell value based on entire row selection:

if (dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
      {
         foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
           {
               TextBox1.Text = row.Cells["ColumnName"].Value.ToString();
           }
      }
else
      {
        MessageBox.Show("Please select item!");
      }
     }
