Bind event to Datagridview - where's list of events?

[Rich]

Migrating from VB.Net to C# - I am sure that I can perform all the same
actions in C#. Right now working with a Datagridview control. The only
list of events I can see in C# for the Datagridview is in the Designer
window/Datagridview Properties under the Flash symbol. The event I am
looking for is the RowEnter event, which I do not see under this list of
events under the Flash symbol. So I wrote this event as follows except it is
not firing - how do I hook it up to the Datagridview?

private void dgrv1_RowEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.RowIndex.ToString());
}

I use this event in VB.Net all the time. So I am sure it is available in C#
- maybe under a different event name?

Thanks,
Rich

Thank you. I used your method and it works. But how do I get this event to
show up in the property grid? That would be easier for hooking up the
events. I know the Datagridview controls has dozens (if not hundreds) of
events. But I only see about a dozen of them listed in the property grid.
How to get them to show up in the property grid?

Rich,

It's available, but the way that you hook up events in C# is different from VB.NET.

You have to actually make the assignment:

dgrv1.RowEnter += dgrv1_RowEnter;

Which is shorthand for:

dgrv1.RowEnter += new DataGridViewCellEventHandler(dgrv1_RowEnter);

The VB.NET compiler does some magic and hides most of this for you.

The designer surface hides it for you in C# by placing the line above in the InitializeComponent method for your class which is using the data grid view. I would use the property grid to add the event. It certainly is there. If you want the designer to create the method for you, just double click on the row:

Nevermind. I figured it out. I added the event assignment to the Initialize
components section. The next time I restarted the project - that event
showed up in the Property grid of the Datagridview control.
