How to delete a selected DataGridViewRow and update a connected database table?

C#WinformsDatagridviewTableadapter

C# Problem Overview


I have a DataGridView control on a Windows Forms application (written with C#).

What I need is: when a user selects a DataGridViewRow, and then clicks on a 'Delete' button, the row should be deleted and next, the database needs to be updated using table adapters.

This is what I have so far:

private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count > 0)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index);
    }                
}

Furthermore, this only deletes one row. I would like it where the user can select multiple rows.

C# Solutions


Solution 1 - C#

This code removes selected items of dataGridView1:

 private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     foreach (DataGridViewRow item in this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows)
     {
         dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(item.Index);
     }
 }

Solution 2 - C#

private void buttonRemove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (DataGridViewCell oneCell in dataGridView1.SelectedCells)
    {
        if (oneCell.Selected)
            dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(oneCell.RowIndex);
    }
}

Removes rows which indexes are in selected cells. So, select any cells, and their corresponding rows will be removed.

Solution 3 - C#

I have written the following code, please take a look:

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.SelectedRows)
    if (!row.IsNewRow) dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(row);

using the Index of the selected row still could work; see if the code below will do the trick:

int selectedCount = dataGridView1.SelectedRows.Count;           
while (selectedCount > 0)
{
    if (!dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].IsNewRow)
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index);
    selectedCount--;
}

I hope this helps, regards.

Solution 4 - C#

private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumIndex == 10)// 10th column the button
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex]);
    }                
}

This solution can be delete a row (not selected, clicked row!) via "e" param.

Solution 5 - C#

maybe you can use temp list for delete. for ignore row index change

<pre>
private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    List<int> wantdel = new List<int>();
    foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
    {
        if ((bool)row.Cells["Select"].Value == true)
        wantdel.Add(row.Index);
    }

    wantdel.OrderByDescending(y => y).ToList().ForEach(x =>
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(x);
    });           
}
</pre>

Solution 6 - C#

To delete multiple rows in datagrid, c#

parts of my code:

private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (DataGridViewRow row in datagrid1.SelectedRows)
        {
            //get key
            int rowId = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[0].Value);
            
            //avoid updating the last empty row in datagrid
            if (rowId > 0)
            {
                //delete 
                aController.Delete(rowId);

                //refresh datagrid
                datagrid1.Rows.RemoveAt(row.Index); 
            }  
        }
    }




 public void Delete(int rowId)
        {
            var toBeDeleted = db.table1.First(c => c.Id == rowId);
            db.table1.DeleteObject(toBeDeleted);
            db.SaveChanges();

        }

Solution 7 - C#

Well, this is how I usually delete checked rows by the user from a DataGridView, if you are associating it with a DataTable from a Dataset (ex: DataGridView1.DataSource = Dataset1.Tables["x"]), then once you will make any updates (delete, insert,update) in the Dataset, it will automatically happen in your DataGridView.

if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to delete this record(s)", "confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Information) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
        {
            try
            {
                for (int i = dgv_Championnat.RowCount -1; i > -1; i--)
                {
                    if (Convert.ToBoolean(dgv_Championnat.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value) == true)
                    {
                        Program.set.Tables["Champ"].Rows[i].Delete();
                    }
                }
                Program.command = new SqlCommandBuilder(Program.AdapterChampionnat);
                if (Program.AdapterChampionnat.Update(Program.TableChampionnat) > 0)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Well Deleted");
                }
            }
            catch (SqlException ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }

Solution 8 - C#

				}	
			}			
		}
	}
	catch (Exception^ex)
	{
		MessageBox::Show(ex->ToString());
	}
}

Solution 9 - C#

have a look this way:

if (MessageBox.Show("Sure you wanna delete?", "Warning", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
{
  foreach (DataGridViewRow item in this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows)
  {
      bindingSource1.RemoveAt(item.Index);
  }
      adapter.Update(ds);
 }

Solution 10 - C#

Try this:

if (dgv.SelectedRows.Count>0)
{
    dgv.Rows.RemoveAt(dgv.CurrentRow.Index);
}

Solution 11 - C#

if(this.dgvpurchase.Rows.Count>1)
{
    if(this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Index<this.dgvpurchase.Rows.Count)
    {
        this.txtname.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[1].Value.ToString();
        this.txttype.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[2].Value.ToString();
        this.cbxcode.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[3].Value.ToString();
        this.cbxcompany.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[4].Value.ToString();
        this.dtppurchase.Value = Convert.ToDateTime(this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[5].Value);
        this.txtprice.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[6].Value.ToString();
        this.txtqty.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[7].Value.ToString();
        this.txttotal.Text = this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Cells[8].Value.ToString();
        this.dgvpurchase.Rows.RemoveAt(this.dgvpurchase.CurrentRow.Index);
        refreshid();
    }
}

Solution 12 - C#

You delete first from the database and then you update your datagridview:

//let's suppose delete(id) is a method which will delete a row from the database and
// returns true when it is done
int id = 0;
//we suppose that the first column in the datagridview is the ID of the ROW :
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows)
   id = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[0].Value.ToString());
if(delete(id))                               
   this.dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(this.dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index);
//else show message error!

Solution 13 - C#

private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index);
                ?BindingSource.EndEdit();
                ?TableAdapter.Update(this.?DataSet.yourTableName);
}

//NOTE:
//? - is your data from database

Exception no need ... or change with your own code.

This worked for me :

private void btnRemove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    int count = dgvSchedule.SelectedRows.Count;

    while (count != 0) {
        dgvSchedule.Rows.RemoveAt(dgvSchedule.SelectedRows[0].Index);
        count--;
    }
 }

Solution 17 - C#

It Work for me !

private: System::Void MyButton_Delete_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
	// Удалить столбец(Row).
	MydataGridView->Rows->RemoveAt(MydataGridView->CurrentCell->RowIndex);
}

Solution 18 - C#

for (int j = dataGridView1.Rows.Count; j > 0 ; j--)
{
    if (dataGridView1.Rows[j-1].Selected)
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(j-1);
}

Solution 19 - C#

here is one very simple example:

ASPX:

<asp:GridView ID="gvTest" runat="server" SelectedRowStyle-BackColor="#996633" 
       SelectedRowStyle-ForeColor="Fuchsia">
    <Columns>
        <asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" />
        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <%# Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button ID="btnUpdate" runat="server" Text="Update" OnClick="btnUpdateClick"/>

Code Behind:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    private readonly DataTable _dataTable;

    public _Default()
    {
        _dataTable = new DataTable();

        _dataTable.Columns.Add("Serial", typeof (int));
        _dataTable.Columns.Add("Data", typeof (string));

        for (var i = 0; ++i <= 15;) 
        _dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] {i, "This is row " + i});
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
            BindData();
    }

    private void BindData()
    {
        gvTest.DataSource = _dataTable;
        gvTest.DataBind();
    }

    protected void btnUpdateClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (gvTest.SelectedIndex < 0) return;

        var r = gvTest.SelectedRow;

        var i = r.DataItemIndex;
        
        //you can get primary key or anyother column vlaue by 
        //accessing r.Cells collection, but for this simple case
        //we will use index of selected row in database.
        _dataTable.Rows.RemoveAt(i);

        //rebind with data
        BindData();

        //clear selection from grid
        gvTest.SelectedIndex = -1;
    }
}

you will have to use checkboxes or some other mechanism to allow users to select multiple rows and then you can browse the rows for ones with the checkbox checked and then remove those rows.
