[c#] How to clear a data grid view

You could take this next instruction and would do the work with lack of perfomance. If you want to see the effect of that, put one of the 2 next instructions (Technically similars) where you need to clear the DataGridView into a try{} catch(...){} finally block and wait what occurs.

     while (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 1)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }

    foreach (object _Cols in dataGridView1.Columns)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }

You improve this task but its not enough, there is a problem to reset a DataGridView, because of the colums that remains in the DataGridView object. Finally I suggest, the best way i've implemented in my home practice is to handle this gridView as a file with rows, columns: a record collection based on the match between rows and columns. If you can improve, then take your own choice a) or b): foreach or while.

     //(a): With foreach 
    foreach (object _Cols in dataGridView1.Columns)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }

    foreach(object _row in dataGridView1.Rows){
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }

    //(b): With foreach 
    while (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 1)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }
    while (dataGridView1.Columns.Count > 0)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }

Well, as a recomendation Never in your life delete the columns first, the order is before the rows after the cols, because logically the columns where created first and then the rows.It would be a penalty in terms of correct analisys.

     foreach (object _Cols in dataGridView1.Columns)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }
    foreach (object _row in dataGridView1.Rows)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }
    while (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 1)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }

    while (dataGridView1.Columns.Count > 0)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }

Then, Put it inside a function or method.

 private void ClearDataGridViewLoopWhile()
{           
    while (dataGridView1.Rows.Count > 1)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }

    while (dataGridView1.Columns.Count > 0)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }
}

private void ClearDataGridViewForEach()
{
    foreach (object _Cols in dataGridView1.Columns)
    {
        dataGridView1.Columns.RemoveAt(0);
    }
    foreach (object _row in dataGridView1.Rows)
    {
        dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
    }
}

Finally, call your new function ClearDataGridViewLoopWhile(); or ClearDataGridViewForEach(); where you need to use it, but its recomended when you are making queries and changing over severall tables that will load with diferents header names in the grieView. But if you want preserve headers here there is a solution given.
