Getting data from a row.

I would be a newbie to the Grid.

What I am interested in, is doing a dbl-click or right-click on the row to bring up an edit window for the data that is selected.  In the past with other  applications, I would have a hidden column that stored the ID of that particular data.  So, when selected, I would get the ID, select the data from the database and populate the edit window.  Would that be the same with this grid?  What have others done?  Is there a better way?

If I were to use the IBindList as the datasource, can I access the underlying class that was used for that row? 

Thank you,

Chuck

Well, I found a solution that works.  I found a post that gave me an idea.  My grids datasource will be an arraylist and that arraylist will hold my data classes.  When the user wants to edit a row, I get the index and that index refers to the index in my arraylist.  I then can pass the class to the edit window.

If that does not sound right, please comment.
