Delete Rows from DataGridView using Checkbox with ADO.NET

Step 1

Create database and table named Customers using definition as shown in the below figure



Step 2

Now, using Visual Studio, we create application windows Forms named CheckBoxGridView, then click on OK. You can see the following figure.



Step 3

At this stage, we need to add connection to database. You shouldbe selecting Server Name, then the Database Name (in this case: DbGridView) that will be used in our application.

*DbGridView

Step 4

Now, Add DataGridView and button controls to the form by selecting them from Toolbox as shown in the following figure,


Step 5

Adding source code for DataGridView.

using System;
usingSystem.Collections.Generic;
usingSystem.ComponentModel;
usingSystem.Data;
usingSystem.Data.SqlClient;
usingSystem.Drawing;
usingSystem.Linq;
usingSystem.Text;
usingSystem.Threading.Tasks;
usingSystem.Windows.Forms;
namespace CheckBoxGridView
{
    publicpartialclassForm1: Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        privateSqlConnectionconx = newSqlConnection("Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=DbGridView;Integrated Security=True"); // Connection String
        privateSqlDataAdapteradp = null;
        privateDataSet ds = newDataSet();
        // loading data from "Customers" Table to DataGridView
        privatevoidLoadData()
        {
            AddCheckBoxForDataGridView();
            adp = newSqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Customers", conx);
            adp.Fill(ds);
            dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
        }
        // AddCheckBoxForDataGridView Function allow to add checkbox in DataGridView
        privatevoidAddCheckBoxForDataGridView()
        {
            DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn col = newDataGridViewCheckBoxColumn()
            {
                Name = "Select Rows to be deleted"
            };
            dataGridView1.Columns.Add(col);
        }
        privatevoid Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LoadData();
        }
        privatevoidDeleteRowFromGrid(int id)
        {
            try
            {
                conx.Open(); //Open Connection
                SqlCommandcmd = newSqlCommand("DELETE FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = '" + id + "'", conx); //Here, we specify query with {Id} parameter which allow us to delete rows from Db.
                int Result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); // Execute Query for deleting all rows selected from DataGridView
                conx.Close(); // Close Connection
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                conx.Close();
            }
        }
        //Delete Button
        privatevoid button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataGridViewRow row = newDataGridViewRow();
            for (inti = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                row = dataGridView1.Rows[i];
                if (Convert.ToBoolean(row.Cells[0].Value))
                {
                    int id = Convert.ToInt16(row.Cells[1].Value);
                    DeleteRowFromGrid(id);
                    dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(row);
                    i--;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 6

Run Application.
