Dear all,
I have a problem "Index Out Of Range Exception In C#" while reading Datgridview,

Actually i have a DataGridview. DataGridForm2 with 3 rows ,1 column..

Like .. Status
---------
completed
---------
completed
----------
" " ---- Empty string..


I tried to read this datgridview with the below code:

 int j =  dataGridForm2.Rows.Count;
             j = j - 1;


             for (int i = 0; i < j; i++)
             {
               


                object value1 =dataGridForm2.Rows[i].Cells[i].Value;
                            
                 }

But while second iteration that is i=1 , i got error Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index


I dont know how to solve this problem, since i am fresher to .Net.

Please let me know my Error in above codings?

Thanks.

If you have only 1 column, then when the i = 1 and you call .Cell[i], it can't read Cell[1] because it doesn't exist (only cell 0 because 1 column).

So change this:

object value1 =dataGridForm2.Rows[i].Cells[i].Value;


into this:

object value1 =dataGridForm2.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value;

Just an observation but it seems you get the count and take one off it, but then only use less than in your for loop. For example, objects that have a count of 5, you'd loop from 0 to less than 5, or in other words, 4. You use i < count because indexes are zero based and counting isn't. But because you're already taking one off the count, you need to use for (int i = 0; i <= j; i++) or simply remove j = j - 1; which can also be written as j--; by the way.

int j =  dataGridForm2.Rows.Count;
j = j - 1;
for (int i = 0; i < j; i++)
