How to click on a row in a datagrid, and popup a form, with the id of tat row being passed to the new form?

You can can do this in a mousedown event handler for your datagrid using a HitTest to get the row. You can also just use the CurrentRowIndex as weel since there will be a new currentrow at this point.

private void dataGrid1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
	Point pt = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
	MessageBox.Show(this.dataGrid1.HitTest(pt).Row.ToString());
}

Take a look in your help index for HitTest method and then select the DataGrid.HitTest Method. The help there shows VB code for using this method. Here is the link.

Another comment is that you don't really need the HitTest as if you click on a row, it normally becomes the currentrow. In that case, the member Me.DataGrid1.CurrentRowIndex will have the row number.
