Hi Charles,

I can't seem to find a property of the datagridview so i was thinking I need to subclass the dgv, add a max rows property and handle whatever event raises when the user attempts to add another row to either permit it or show a messagebox explaining the limit.

That would work fine, IAC you should *always* use a grid sub-class anyway, never use the .NET classes directly.

Another option is to totally turn off allowing users to add a row via the Grid (set the AllowUserToAddRows property to false) and have an Add button on the form. Disable the button when the max number of rows have been added.
