# How to get the First Column Values of Selected Rows of DataGridView in C#?

I am using the below [code](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85458/alan-turing-the-mastermind-behind-cracking-the-enigma-code-during-world-war-ii) to get the ID of columns :

```
DataGridViewSelectedCellCollection DGV =this.dgvSearch.SelectedCells;for (int i = 0; i <= DGV.Count - 1; i++){string ID = Convert.ToString(dgvSearch.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value);MessageBox.Show(ID); }
```

I [am getting](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34179/i-am-getting-error-while-assigning-the-data-to-the-array-list) the ID but I want it once foe each column.

How to do it?

Hi Ankita,\

Use DataGridViewSelectedRowCollection instead of DataGridViewSelectedCellCollection and loop through the no of rows selected. inside the loop just give the same what u have given. replace this.dgvSearch.SelectedCells with this.dgvSearch.SelectedRows..

## update:

```
 DataGridViewSelectedRowCollection DGV=this.dgvSearch.SelectedRows;  foreach(DataGridViewRow row in DGV)  { DataRow myRow =(row.DataBoundItem as DataRowView).Row;  string ID =Convert.ToString(myRow.Cells[0].Value);  MessageBox.Show(ID);
  }
```
