DataGridViewEditMode

One of the DataGridViewEditMode values. The default is EditOnKeystrokeOrF2.

Exceptions

InvalidEnumArgumentException

The specified value when setting this property is not a valid DataGridViewEditMode value.

Exception

The exception object can typically be cast to type FormatException.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to initialize a simple data-bound DataGridView. It also demonstrates how to set the EditMode property.
