Selecting a row in Datagridview Programatically?

I am developing a new desktop application in C# using Windows Forms. In one of my form i put the DataGridView Control and i am populating this dataGridViewControl Dynamically using my custom functions.

Now after populating the above control, is there any way to programatically select the first row of that DataGridViewview. Note: the Selection mode property of this DataGridView is set to "Full row Select"

Try: 

dataGridView1.Rows[0].Selected = true;

    if grid is empty throws an error. It's bettere make a check before. if (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 0) {...} – Evilripper Apr 26 '21 at 07:42

To select one row in winform DataGridView TRY THIS: 

dataGridView1.MultiSelect = false;
dataGridView1.MultiSelect = true;
dataGridView1.Rows[RowIndex].Selected = true;

It works ..

    One might need to scroll to selected row to be visible. dataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = RowIndex; – Bronek Feb 08 '13 at 23:24
