How to: Set the Selection Mode of the Windows Forms DataGridView Control

The following code example demonstrates how to configure a xref:System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView control so that clicking anywhere within a row automatically selects the entire row, and so that only one row at a time can be selected.

Example

[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewMisc#065] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewMisc#065]

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

  • A xref:System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView control named dataGridView1.

  • References to the xref:System?displayProperty=nameWithType and xref:System.Windows.Forms?displayProperty=nameWithType assemblies.
