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

string value = dataGridVeiw1.CurrentRow.Cells[1].Value.ToString();

Answer 2

Simplest code is DataGridView1.SelectedCells(column_index).Value

As an example, for the first selected cell:

DataGridView1.SelectedCells(0).Value

Answer 3

In the CellClick event you can write following code

string value =
      datagridviewID.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].FormattedValue.ToString();

Using the bove code you will get value of the cell you cliked. If you want to get value of paricular column in the clicked row, just replace e.ColumnIndex with the column index you want

Answer 4

Use Cell Click as other methods mentioned will fire upon data binding, not useful if you want the selected value, then the form to close.

private void dgvProducts_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (dgvProducts.SelectedCells.Count > 0) // Checking to see if any cell is selected
    {
        int mSelectedRowIndex = dgvProducts.SelectedCells[0].RowIndex;

        DataGridViewRow mSelectedRow = dgvProducts.Rows[mSelectedRowIndex];

        string mCatagoryName = Convert.ToString(mSelectedRow.Cells[1].Value);

        SomeOtherMethod(mProductName); // Passing the name to where ever you need it

        this.close();
    }
}
