I have a gridview and, when a record is double-clicked, I want it to open up a new detail-view form for that particular record.

As an example, I have created a Customer class:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Collections;

namespace SyncTest
{
#region Customer Collection

public class CustomerCollection : BindingListView<Customer>
{
    public CustomerCollection() : base()
    {
    }

    public CustomerCollection(List<Customer> customers) : base(customers)
    {
    }

    public CustomerCollection(DataTable dt)
    {
        foreach (DataRow oRow in dt.Rows)
        {
            Customer c = new Customer(oRow);
            this.Add(c);
        }
    }
}

#endregion

public class Customer : INotifyPropertyChanged, IEditableObject, IDataErrorInfo
{
    private string _CustomerID;
    private string _CompanyName;
    private string _ContactName;
    private string _ContactTitle;
    private string _OldCustomerID;
    private string _OldCompanyName;
    private string _OldContactName;
    private string _OldContactTitle; 
    private bool _Editing;
    private string _Error = string.Empty;
    private EntityStateEnum _EntityState;
    private Hashtable _PropErrors = new Hashtable();

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    private void FirePropertyChangeNotification(string propName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
        }
    }

    public Customer()
    {
        this.EntityState = EntityStateEnum.Unchanged;
    }

    public Customer(DataRow dr)
    {
        //Populates the business object item from a data row
        this.CustomerID = dr["CustomerID"].ToString();
        this.CompanyName = dr["CompanyName"].ToString();
        this.ContactName = dr["ContactName"].ToString();
        this.ContactTitle = dr["ContactTitle"].ToString();

        this.EntityState = EntityStateEnum.Unchanged;
    }

    public string CustomerID

            FirePropertyChangeNotification("CustomerID");
        }
    }

    public string CompanyName
    {
        get
        {
            return _CompanyName;
        }
        set
        {
            _CompanyName = value;
            FirePropertyChangeNotification("CompanyName");
        }
    }

    public string ContactName
    {
        get
        {
            return _ContactName;
        }
        set
        {
            _ContactName = value;
            FirePropertyChangeNotification("ContactName");
        }
    }

    public string ContactTitle
    {
        get
        {
            return _ContactTitle;
        }
        set
        {
            _ContactTitle = value;
            FirePropertyChangeNotification("ContactTitle");
        }
    }

    public Boolean IsDirty
    {
        get
        {
            return ((this.EntityState != EntityStateEnum.Unchanged) || (this.EntityState != EntityStateEnum.Deleted));
        }
    }

    public enum EntityStateEnum
    {
        Unchanged,
        Added,
        Deleted,
        Modified
    }

    void IEditableObject.BeginEdit()
    {
        if (!_Editing)
        {
            _OldCustomerID = _CustomerID;
            _OldCompanyName = _CompanyName;
            _OldContactName = _ContactName;
            _OldContactTitle = _ContactTitle;
        }
        this.EntityState = EntityStateEnum.Modified;
        _Editing = true;
    }

    void IEditableObject.CancelEdit()
    {
        if (_Editing)
        {
            _CustomerID = _OldCustomerID;
            _CompanyName = _OldCompanyName;
            _ContactName = _OldContactName;
            _ContactTitle = _OldContactTitle;
        }
        this.EntityState = EntityStateEnum.Unchanged;
        _Editing = false;
    }

    void IEditableObject.EndEdit()
    {
        _Editing = false;
    }

    public EntityStateEnum EntityState
    {
        get
        {
            return _EntityState;
        }
        set
        {
            _EntityState = value;
        }
    }

    string IDataErrorInfo.Error
    {
        get
        {
            return _Error;
        }
    }

    string IDataErrorInfo.this[string columnName]
    {
        get
        {
            return (string)_PropErrors[columnName];
        }
    }

    private void DataStateChanged(EntityStateEnum dataState, string propertyName)
    {
        //Raise the event
        if (PropertyChanged != null && propertyName != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
        //If the state is deleted, mark it as deleted
        if (dataState == EntityStateEnum.Deleted)
        {
            this.EntityState = dataState;
        }
        if (this.EntityState == EntityStateEnum.Unchanged)
        {
            this.EntityState = dataState;
        }
    }
}

}

Here is my the code for the double-click event:

        private void customersDataGridView_CellDoubleClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        Customer oCustomer = (Customer)customersBindingSource.CurrencyManager.List[customersBindingSource.CurrencyManager.Position];
        CustomerForm oForm = new CustomerForm();
        oForm.NewCustomer = oCustomer;
        oForm.ShowDialog(this);

        oForm.Dispose();
        oForm = null;
    }

Unfortunately, when this code runs, I receive an InvalidCastException error stating "Unable to cast object to type 'System.Data.DataRowView' to type 'SyncTest.Customer'".

This error occurs on the very first line of that event:

Customer oCustomer = (Customer)customersBindingSource.CurrencyManager.List[customersBindingSource.CurrencyManager.Position];

What am I doing wrong?... and what can I do to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
