Question

I’m racking my head over something that should be pretty simple to do. Its been a day now so I finally give up and I will ask the question. How can I actually trigger the selectionChanged event on the datagridview in .net?
I would basically like to grab the row values when the user double-clicks/ or single clicks any where on a row. but I cant for the life of me get this event to fire even tough I read here that this should be the even I need to use?

private void dataGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (DataGridViewRow row in AddrGrid.SelectedRows)
            {
                string value1 = row.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
                string value2 = row.Cells[1].Value.ToString();
                //...
            }
        }

I have tried something similar to this but im hopeless I click on the datagrid cells or rows and this does not fire what I’m I missing?

when I click on a cell I get this event to fire.

private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {


            Addresses.aTyp = AddrGrid.Rows[AddrGrid.CurrentCell.RowIndex].Cells["Address Type"].Value.ToString();
            Addresses.seq  =  AddrGrid.Rows[AddrGrid.CurrentCell.RowIndex].Cells["Sequence"].Value.ToString();

        }

But I like to capture the double click or click on a row not just a cell.
Any help would be most appreciated.

On your grid object lets call it ‘foo’. You will do something like..

foo.SelectionChanged += dataGridView1_SelectionChanged

you will need to do that somewhere to wire the event up. I normally do it in the constructor for the form
