Getting data from selected row in DataGridView, C# WinForms

Question

How to read whole row and save it to variable? I know what type is stored there (custom Employee type).

I have tried doing it kind of manually.

private async void AddEmployee()
        {
            var context = new NorthwindContext();
            int selectedRowCount = EmpMgmtDataGridView.Rows.GetRowCount(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected);
            if (selectedRowCount > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < selectedRowCount; i++)
                {
                    var employeeToAdd = new Employees();
                    employeeToAdd.FirstName = EmpMgmtDataGridView[1, i].ToString();
                    employeeToAdd.LastName = EmpMgmtDataGridView[2, i].ToString();
                    await context.AddAsync(employeeToAdd);
                    await context.SaveChangesAsync();
                }
            }
        }

But it ends with

SqlException: String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

at SaveChanges. I'm trying to send it into database, but i know how to do it, i just can't get it from DataGridView.

Edit

Made an upgrade but it ends with identical error.

private async void AddEmployee()
        {
            var context = new NorthwindContext();
            int selectedRowCount = EmpMgmtDataGridView.Rows.GetRowCount(DataGridViewElementStates.Selected);
            var rows = EmpMgmtDataGridView.SelectedRows;
            if (selectedRowCount > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < selectedRowCount; i++)
                {
                    var employeeToAdd = new Employees();
                    employeeToAdd.LastName = rows[i].Cells[1].ToString();
                    employeeToAdd.FirstName = rows[i].Cells[2].ToString();
                    await context.AddAsync(employeeToAdd);
                    await context.SaveChangesAsync();
                }
            }
        }

Make sure you are actually getting the Value of the cell rather than the cell object itself:

employeeToAdd.LastName = rows[i].Cells[1].Value.ToString();
employeeToAdd.FirstName = rows[i].Cells[2].Value.ToString();
