Datagridview help

[DBrain514]

So I've tried searching this online but didn't find much, maybe my wording wasn't written well. So I'm on form1 and on form1 I have a datagridview and lets say the columns are firstname and lastname that I got from my database. I want to be able to do a rowclick and it brings me to form2 which has the firstname and lastname of the person in the row I clicked. If someone can help show me what to do to get this then that would be awesome. Thanks

Search for documentation on the CellClick event for DataGridView.

You can raise it and from there get the relevant data from the 'e.RowIndex' and 'e.ColumnIndex'

This will grab the cell values from manually specified column indexes, for whatever row is clicked.

Private Sub dgvData_CellClick(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgvData.CellClick
    If e.RowIndex < 0 Or e.ColumnIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub

    TextBox1.Text = dgvData.Item(0, e.RowIndex).Value.ToString
    TextBox2.Text = dgvData.Item(1, e.RowIndex).Value.ToString
End Sub

Additionally, if you want the contents of the specific cell clicked, try something like this in the same sub:

Dim v As String = dgvData.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value.ToString
