I did an example code which populates dgv from a dataSet, and then gets the selected row`s data, and passed them to form2`s textBoxes. In my example I only have 2 column in the dataSet (as in dgv of course) and 2 textBoxes to populate on form2.
Take a look, and let me know its any good.
Code:
//form1:
DataSet ds;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
ds = new DataSet();
DataTable table = new DataTable("myTable");
table.Columns.Add("column 1", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("column 2", typeof(int));
DataRow dr;
//creating some example data to populate dgv:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
dr = table.NewRow();
dr["column 1"] = "Some name " + (i + 1);
dr["column 2"] = i * 2;
table.Rows.Add(dr);
}
ds.Tables.Add(table);
//set dgv:
dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
//bind dataSet to dgv:
dataGridView1.DataSource = new BindingSource(ds.Tables["myTable"], null);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<object> list = new List<object>();
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.SelectedRows)
foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
list.Add(cell.Value);
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.GetDataFromForm1(list);
f2.Show(this);
}
}
//form2:
//I have decided to create a new method, which will be called from form1 (instead of it, the data can be passed into the constructor of form2 in the same way).
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
//constructor of form2
InitializeComponent();
}
public void GetDataFromForm1(List<object> data)
{
textBox1.Text = data[0].ToString();
textBox2.Text = data[1].ToString();
}
}Hope it helps,
