I had a similar problem  I ve hidden some columns and afterwards I tried to select the first row  This didn t really work   datagridview1 Rows 0  Selected   true    So I tried selecting cell 0 0   but it also didn t work  because this cell was not displayed  Now my final solution is working very well   datagridview1 SelectionMode   DataGridViewSelectionMode FullRowSelect      datagridview1 CurrentCell   datagridview1 FirstDisplayedCell    So this selects the complete first row
