i have a windows form application in which I have a Datagridview.

I have linked the Datagridview to a sql Server database.

I added a timer for my application to update the datagridview with new records from the database.

Now I would like to display a message (alert) to the user only when new rows are added to the datagridview and it should not stop the win form application from running.

How can I do this please please Help?

Thanks

What I have tried:

private void frmpractice1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           dataGridView1.DataSource = ConnectionClass.Selectcommand("Select  DISTINCT Invoice_No,Customer_Name,Time from tblAIMode  ");
           dataGridView1.RowsAdded += new DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler(dataGridView1_RowsAdded);
           timer1.Interval = 5000;
           timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(UpdateDataGridView);
           timer1.Start();
       }

       private void UpdateDataGridView(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           dataGridView1.DataSource = ConnectionClass.Selectcommand("Select  DISTINCT Invoice_No,Customer_Name,Time from tblAIMode  ");

       }

       private void dataGridView1_RowsAdded(object sender, DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs e)
       {
           MessageBox.Show("New Row added");
           dataGridView1.RowsAdded -= new DataGridViewRowsAddedEventHandler(dataGridView1_RowsAdded);
       }

Don't use a MessageBox; it's "modal". Display your message in a text field; in the same window or a different (non-modal) window. Apps often use "status bar" at the bottom of a window for "info" type messages.

I really agreed Gerry Smith suggestion : a messagebox will be ugly feature every five seconds.
As solution, why not making the background color of the datagrid evoluting when a new row is in... like a toggle ( seen / not seen , on a click on datagridview )
