Get Data from Double-Clicked DataGridView Row

11/3/2006 DataFromDblClickedDataGridViewRow.zip

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 a DataGridView control.

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
