Here is an example image of a datagridview.
I’d like to make this row based so instead of a cell being selected I’d like the entire row to be selected. The rows/cells are read only so no cell needs to be edited. also I like to remove the leftmost side where the > is.
(Crappy image found via google)

You can set these properties in code as above, or via the designer.
RowHeadersVisibleis under theAppearancesection.SelectionModeis under theBehaviorsection.
