Display value output into textbox from DataGridView

Samuel Toh

I want to display the output of the column "Email" from the DataGridView under the label "Applicants" in to the textbox beside "To".

So when I select the Names from the DataGridView, their email will automatically be showed in the textbox. How do I do that?

Accepted answer
i assumed that you are selecting whole row, if you are just selecting the name cell then use this
private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value != null)
    {
       txtEmail.Text=dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[2].Value;
    }
}

Make sure you are giving right name to your event, better is to right click on datagridview and select properties.
Then click on event symobol (lightining look like) and double click on cellClick event it will generate cellclick event on your code behind (.cs) page. There paste the code, i provided.

I'm not sure why it still doesnt work. Do I have to initialise dataGridView1_CellClick" or something?

use this
private void dataGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        txtTo.Text = dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells[2].Value.ToString();
    }
