Source Code: Get Data from Double-Clicked DataGridView Row
This article and source code demonstrates how to retrieve the data bound to a Windows Forms DataGridView control row when a user double-clicks a row header.
The approach in this article assumes a scenario where a DataSource has been bound to DataGridView.
The DataGridView control raises the RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick when a user double-clicks a row header. By adding a handler for the RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick event you can add code that retrieves the data behind a row when it is double-clicked:
Code Example
Private Sub CustomerDataGridView_RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles CustomerDataGridView.RowHeaderMouseDoubleClick
' Declare a variable named chosenCustomerRow of type CustomerRow.omerRow
Dim chosenCustomerRow As AjaxDataSet.CustomerRow
' Retrieve the CustomerRow object from the DataGridView row;
' assign it to the chosenCustomerRow variable.
chosenCustomerRow = CType(CType(Me.CustomerBindingSource.Current, DataRowView).Row, AjaxDataSet.CustomerRow)
' Use data from the double-clicked row.
Dim customerInfo As String = ""
Dim nl As String = Environment.NewLine
customerInfo &= "Data retrieved from the row you double-clicked:" & nl & nl
customerInfo &= chosenCustomerRow.Name & nl
customerInfo &= chosenCustomerRow.StreetAddress1 & nl
customerInfo &= chosenCustomerRow.City.Trim & ", " & chosenCustomerRow.State.Trim & " " & chosenCustomerRow.Zip.Trim & nl
customerInfo &= "Last Order Date: " & chosenCustomerRow.LastOrderDate
Me.RichTextBox1.Text = customerInfo
End Sub
