Delete Top Row from DataGridView Without Clicking

Question

I want to remove the first row from a datagridview before it loads in the form. What I have at the moment is :

dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(dataGridViewRow[0]);

This doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how I should adapt my code for this to work?

Answer 1

You can try this:

dataGridView1.DeleteRow(dataGridViewRow[0].RowIndex);

Answer 2

Perhaps you can try this one and apply it on your form load event.

if(dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 0)
            dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);

Answer 3

First, ensure data is loaded. If you're unsure - debug, step through, and ensure there IS a row 0.

Then, try the following:

    dataGridView1.Rows.Remove(dataGridView1.Rows[0]);

Further discussion on row removal here. Might give you some other ideas.

Answer 4

Is the datagrid databound to a collection? If so, you could exlude the first element by doing something like this:

List<string> list = GetSomeData();
dataGridView1.DataSource = list.GetRange(1, list.Count-1);
dataGridView1.DataBind();
