hi u can add context menu on right click of a data grid row only as next use the event mouse up you should define your datagridview and your context menue // here the event of mouse up private void dataGridView1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right) { System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.HitTestInfo myHitTest; myHitTest = dataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y); if (myHitTest.Type == DataGridViewHitTestType.RowHeader) { contextMenuStrip1.Show(dataGridView1, e.Location); } } }

Find the row value of the datagrid Loop and find the number of rows you are having in grid. On mousedown event call the context menu on the row you clicked
