Error : ArgumentOutOfRangeException -- index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection

Scenario: A desktop application that reads data from the SQL Server database. When I want to click on the button, it will open the form and read the data from the database and automatically put it in the Data Grid View, but this will I get an exception.I put the code down

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace BashgaheVarzeshiI2
{
    public partial class frmuser : Form
    {
        public frmuser()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data source=(local);initial catalog=BashgahDB; integrated security = true");
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();

        void Display()
        {
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter();
            adp.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand();
            adp.SelectCommand.Connection = con;
            adp.SelectCommand.CommandText = "select * from Karbar";
            adp.Fill(ds, "Karbar");
            dgvUser.DataSource = ds;
            dgvUser.DataMember = "Karbar";

            dgvUser.Columns[0].HeaderText = "code";
            dgvUser.Columns[1].HeaderText = "username";
            dgvUser.Columns[2].HeaderText = "password";

            dgvUser.Columns[0].Width = 50;
        }

                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
                Display();
                MessageBox.Show("Username Saved");
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error!");
            }
        }

        private void frmuser_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Display();
        }

        private void bunifuImageButton4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                int x = Convert.ToInt32(dgvUser.SelectedCells[0].Value);

                cmd.Parameters.Clear();
                cmd.Connection = con;
                cmd.CommandText = "Delete From Karbar where id=@N";
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@N", x);
                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
                Display();
                MessageBox.Show("User Deleted!");
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error!");
            }
        }

        private void dgvUser_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }
}

How can I overcome this error?

Answer 1

You are trying to access an element of an array that doesn't exist and is outside of the bounds. Looking at your code, the Display method gets called on Load , so it appears the Columns index is the problem, ie you haven't set any columns up before trying to access them.
