Delete multiple rows from DatGridView (VS2005)

[LarryBye]

VS2005 does not have a DataGrid, it uses the new DataGridView. I''m looking for code that will allow me to delete multiple rows from the DataGridView and which method/event I should place the code. I would like the users to do this by pressing the DEL key. Any ideas/suggestion appreciated.

Hi LarryBye,

If you have the row header, clicking it selects the rows then the Del key removes the rows. Is that not sufficient?

Here is how I ending up handling it. I trapped the key down forr the "delete" key

Private Sub dgBadData_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles dgBadData.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Then
If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to delete the selected record(s)?", _
"Delete Record", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, _
MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Then if the user says "yes" then I used the UserDeleteRow:

Private Sub dgBadData_UserDeletedRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowEventArgs) Handles dgBadData.UserDeletedRow
Me.TblACBadDataTableAdapter.Update(AirClicDataSet)
Me.lblRowCount.Text = "Total Records: " & dgBadData.RowCount

End Sub

u can keep a list of deleted items. When u catch a delete event u should add the current row information to that list and then delete that object from the database
