How to get a DataRow from a row in a DataGridView

Question

I am using Windows Forms DataGridView data binding. how can I go from a user-selected row in a DataGridView to a DataRow DataTable , which is its source?

Answer 1

 DataRow row = ((DataRowView)DataGridViewRow.DataBoundItem).Row 

Assuming you bound a regular DataTable .

 MyTypedDataRow row = (MyTypedDataRow)((DataRowView)DataGridViewRow.DataBoundItem).Row 

Assuming you bound a typed data type.

See the article on MSDN for more information.

Answer 2

 DataTable table = grdMyGrid.DataSource as DataTable; DataRow row = table.NewRow(); row = ((DataRowView)grdMyGrid.SelectedRows[0].DataBoundItem).Row; 

Answer 3

There is a property in the DataGridViewRow called the DataBoundItem of the type object.

This will contain a DataRowView (you can verify this for certain)

Answer 4

In Visual Studio 2017.NET 4.5, I had success

  var row = (DataRowView) e.Row.DataItem;
