I do not know why Microsoft has to make everything so complicated by my lord. All I want is the value from a specific field (column) in a dbgrid that is currently selected and after 4 hours of digging through books and good I've found nothing. Its like no one has ever had to do such a silly thing before.

To be clear: I have a grid. It has 3 records in it. I select the 2nd row and I want a message box to popup and tell me the contactID # from that selected field. ContactID is just a field in the grid...

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

glenn

Hi,

Handle  Cell_click event of DataGridView and implement it as follows

[Code language = C#]

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)

        {

            MessageBox.Show(dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Value.ToString());           

        }   

[/Code]

This will give u,what u wanted.

Thanx,
