Hello all:

What is the best way to get a reference to an item selected in a data
grid? What I am trying to do is have it so a user can select from a
list in a data grid of all our employees and then click a button to
update that employees details. What is the best way to accomplish this
so that you can then bind this data to the next form?

Thanks,

- John -

Hello John,

You should utilize CurrencyManager to get the data record corresponding to
the current position in the DataGrid.

CurrencyManager cm =
(CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[dataGrid.DataSource,
dataGrid.DataMember];
DataRowView currentRow = (DataRowView)cm.Current;

Thanks for the reply, I will give it a try.

What does it mean if I get the following errow upon executing the code:

Cannot create child list for TableName.
