How to programmatically select a row in a datagrid

[=?Utf-8?B?UGFycm90?=]

I cannot programmatically select a row in datagridview control. I use the
following instruction to change the selection of a row

dataGridView2.ClearSelection();
dataGridView2.Rows[currentrow].Selected = true;

When I add another entry to the datagrid, I return to this routine and check
for the current row as follows:

DataGridViewRow row = dataGridView2.CurrentRow;
currentrow = row.Index;

However, unless I manually check the row with my mouse, the currentrow
always returns a 0 even though the 2nd row is highlighted. How can I make
the program retain the select status that I set up in the first routine? Or
how do I determine the current row value?

Dave,
dataGridView.CurrentCell = dataGridView[<column>, <row>]
will do the trick.
Hope this helps,

Thanks so much for your help. Your suggestion worked. What would we do
without these forums? Thanks again.

You're welcome.
"What would we do without these forums?" We would spend a lot of
money on gas and phone bills and still get nowhere!
But seriously, glad I can help.

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in this.dataGridView.Rows)
{
// TODO Why can a cell be null, then wrapMode is set to
false, then I select 2. time?
if (row.Cells[0].Value == null)
row.Cells[0].Value = false;

// compare Select checkbox and RMS database value and
RMS DataGridView column
if (((bool)row.Cells[currencolunm].Value) == true && ---
other condsion )
{
--

In Short Cast Select cell to bool + the row condision as you see 2. time you
select the select state can be null and not only true/false why I still not
know.
