Make it possible to ONLY select one row in datagrid?

Question

I want my datagrid to only allow one row to selected.

I guess I can do this by adding code to the datagridviews selectionChanged-event, but is there a better solution?

I would prefer to just have a property to set, i.e. : mydatagridview.maximumNrOfRowsSelected = 1; or something similar.
Is there anything like this?

The DataGridView has a Property called MultiSelect ( default True ).

Set this to False.

I guess it has changed. Right now the correct way for WPF is:

<DataGrid SelectionMode="Single"> ...

in your XAML file.

Wrong answer ... this is a winforms question, not a WPF question. – Jim Balter Apr 13 '16 at 07:24

Adriaan's answer didn't work for me, but Oscar's got me on the right track. Maybe something changed since Adriaan posted.

To get it working for me I changed SelectionMode to FullRowSelect.

It's just that Adriaans answer is suited for WinForms and Oscars for WPF they are 2 seperate UI frameworks. (although the question specifically requested an answer for WinForms...) – Robin B Sep 26 '19 at 09:23
