Hello!

I have dragged a DataGridView control into a form.
I have clicked on the small square on the DataGridView where I have added
three
columns with type DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
When I run the application I can write text in the three cells in the
DataGridView.
So far so good.

When I have written new text in these three cells I click on a button
called Add Product and in this
event handler I want to read the text from these three cells because this
text should be stored in a ordinary textfile.

So can anybody give me a hint how I get the text that has been recently
added to the DataGridView.

Hi,

Take a look at http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/33748
 
Tony,

As all "Data" controls, the control need a DataSource which can be binded
direct or better using a BindingSource

For the DataGridView that can be more then only a datatable, but there has
to be a datasource.

TBH Grid Views probably are not the best for Inserting data. It can be done
but think of validation etc etc. A GridView is great for paging through data
but IMHO not much good for inserting or updating data. Look up Details View
which is more apt for updating and inserting data.
 
Paul,

Be aware that the GridView is a web control, while the here used
DataGridView is a windowsform control.

Your statement can be true for web development, but does not fit for
windowsform development.
(I will do it like you in web)

LOL

Just shows what reading too quick and doing little to no windows form
development these days does for you.

It all makes sense now....Funny thing is I don't use Details View, I use my
own Custom Controls.

I always said Web development would send me mad...I need more database
development work to make me sane....
