Question

My datagridview itemDelete function:

this.dgv_items.RowsRemoved += this.dgv_items_itemDelete;

private void dgv_items_itemDelete(object sender, DataGridViewRowsRemovedEventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        int row = e.RowIndex;
        string name = dgv_items.Rows[row].Cells[0].Value.ToString();
        deleteFromDB(name);
    }
    catch (Exception) { }
}

But by the time we reach this code, the row will have been removed, meaning dgv_items.Rows[row].Cells[0].Value gets the value if the row next in line.

I want to get the Cells[0] value of the removed row, so I can remove the item from the database file as well. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You could handle the UserDeletingRow event instead. Note that it supports event cancelation.
