Copying the content of a cell in a dataGridView into a textbox

Hello,

I am playing with code in an attempt to copy the value of a cell on a dataGridView into a TextBox:

I used the code below to identify the selected row in the dataGridView before trying to copy the content of the desired cell

Obviously there is some thing wrong in this code since the closing bracket which follows the word "Value" get a red line indicating a syntax error...

private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {
            Int32 rowToUpdate = this.dataGridView1.Rows.GetFirstRow(
     DataGridViewElementStates.Selected);
            if (rowToUpdate > -1)
            {
                this.txtDate.Text = this.dataGridView1.Rows[rowToUpdate].Cells[0].Value[];
                
            }

this.txtDate.Text = this.dataGridView1.Rows[rowToUpdate].Cells[0].Value;

Actually I ended up using the code below but nothing is copied to the textBox when I click the button

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Int32 rowToUpdate = this.dataGridView1.Rows.GetFirstRow(
     DataGridViewElementStates.Selected);
            if (rowToUpdate > -1)
            {
                this.txtName.Text = this.dataGridView1.Rows[rowToUpdate].Cells[2].Value.ToString();
                //this.dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(rowToDelete);
            }

Line three in your code

Int32 rowToUpdate = e.RowIndex;

@nepaluz:

I am afraid I don't follow...

do you want me to replace the following line of code:

Int32 rowToUpdate = this.dataGridView1.Rows.GetFirstRow(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected);

with:
Int32 rowToUpdate = e.RowIndex;
