设置Datagridview只显示从excel粘贴过来的50行

Question

I have a vb.net program that has a datagridview and a button where end users are to paste data from excel to the grid using the button. The user copies data from excel and click the paste button in program to paste the data in datagridview. I only want the user to be able to paste 50 records in the datagridview. The issue I am having is the end users can copy over 50 rows and paste in the grid. It will display a message box that "The max number of rows is 50" but the grid will have all the rows from the excel copy to display in the grid. How do I set the paste to show the first 50 rows and remove the others how do I set the datagridview to only display 50 records?

Here is the copy I am using:

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnPaste.Click
        btnClear.Enabled = True
        Dim maxRowCount As Integer
        maxRowCount = 51
        Try

            For Each line As String In Clipboard.GetText.Split(vbNewLine)
                If Not line.Trim.ToString = "" Then
                    Dim item() As String = line.Trim.Split(vbTab)
                    Me.gridUserEntries.Rows.Add(item)

                End If

            Next
            If gridUserEntries.Rows.Count > maxRowCount Then
                MsgBox("The max number of rows are 50")
               
                'gridUserEntries.RowsRemoved()
                'gridUserEntries.AllowUserToAddRows = False

                ' gridUserEntries.Rows.Remove(gridUserEntries.RowCount)
                btnValidate.Enabled = False
            Else
                btnValidate.Enabled = True
                btnRetrieve.Enabled = True
                'gridUserEntries.Rows.Remove(row)

            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, My.Application.Info.Title, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        End Try

    End Sub

I have tried to gridUserEntries.AllowUserToAddRows = False

I am expecting to be able to paste more than 50 record but only display the first 50 rows in the datagridview.

Change:

For Each line As String In Clipboard.GetText.Split(vbNewLine)

To:

For Each line As String In Clipboard.GetText.Split(vbNewLine).Where(Function(s) Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s)).Select(Function(s) s.Trim()).Take(50)
