I don't know whether this is the best solution or not but it works for me.

C#

private void btn_export_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (DataGridViewRow dgvr in DataGridViewRow.Rows)
            {
                int cells = dgvr.Cells.Count;
                for (int i = 0; i < cells; i++)
                {
                    File.AppendAllText("contents.txt",dgvr.Cells[i].Value.ToString()+" ");
                }
            }
        }
