Open a UserControl when a column button is clicked (Windows App Form)

Chris Anderson

When a column button is clicked I wonder how I can get that data for that particular row.

For instance below I would like to get the data for the object of Puppypuppy and pass on the data to a UserControl (which in my case is a simple window that I want to populate with the data from the clicked button)

The code for the event when a button is clicked:

private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick_1(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
var senderGrid = (DataGridView)sender;
if (senderGrid.Columns[e.ColumnIndex] is DataGridViewButtonColumn &&
e.RowIndex >= 0)
{
// How to get the data of an object when a column button is clicked and pass it to a user control?
// UserControlPlayAnimal playAnimals = new UserControlPlayAnimal();
}
}

The clicked button sends a bunch of data. I noticed the following row which sends value about the clicked row. But as a string. I would like to have it as an object? Possible?

Where should this go? In the dataGridView1_CellContentClick_1 class?

Is it possible to get the object for the row the button was clicked on?

You can get cell data as below , Here dataGridView is name of gridview .
string name=dataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells["Name"].Value
you can also get other cell data by simply pass column name in braces.
