You could use something like this, instead of what you did with the Row.
And then continue whit this article from the link I already gave

I think u didnt understand my problem,maybe i could not clearlly explain. Please, read again my problem, maybe any soluton in ur mind.
I can read Excle file in C# on same form where i browse, but can not put this excel file data on datagridview on the other form.

Passing data between forms has been asked many times. The easiest way is to use a custom property to pass data or a reference to control to hold the data.

public partial class Form3 : Form // This is your Form1
{
    public Form3()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form2 oForm; // This is your Open & Load Excel form

        oForm = new Form2();
        oForm.ExcelView = this.dataGridView1; // Pass this form's DGV to be filled
        oForm.ShowDialog();
        oForm = null; // Dispose Excel form
    }
}

// This is your Form2

    public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    public DataGridView ExcelView { get; set; }

    public Form2()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    // Add code to open Excel file and load data to ExcelView

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Close(); // Return to calling form
    }
}

I hope this helps.
