Introduction:
In this article I will explain about how to select multiple cells in datgridview using c# windows application. Use the MultiSelect property to allow a user to select multiple elements in the DataGridView control and perform an operation on all the selected elements.
How to start?
1. First open the visual studio and select Visual C# --> Windows --> WindowsFormsApplication.
2. Create new item and add one Form.
3. Drag and Drop datagridview control and named as datagridview1.
4. Double Click the form and move code behind Form1_Load.
5. Just dynamically update the datagridview properties as below.
dataGridView1.SelectionMode =
DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;
dataGridView1.MultiSelect
= true;
6. For modification manually in datagridview Propertise
7. Bind the datasource to the datagridview.
dataGridView1.DataSource = dtTemp;
8. Dynamically select the rows through code behind itself.
dataGridView1[1,1].Selected = true;
dataGridView1[2, 1].Selected = true;
dataGridView1[0, 2].Selected = true;
dataGridView1[1,
2].Selected = true;
9. Run the form and result will be as below.
Here you can change the selected cells based on the scenario. I just explained to you how to select the cells through code line.
