## Selection
4+
In [WinForms DataGrid](https://www.syncfusion.com/winforms-ui-controls/datagrid) (SfDataGrid) You can select the entire column in DataGrid using the [SfDataGrid.SelectCells](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.SfDataGrid.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_SfDataGrid_SelectCells_System_Object_Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_GridColumn_System_Object_Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_GridColumn_)

method. You should set the [SfDataGrid.SelectionUnit](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.SfDataGrid.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_SfDataGrid_SelectionUnit) property as **Cell** or **Any** and the [SfDataGrid.SelectionMode](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.SfDataGrid.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_SfDataGrid_SelectionMode) property as **Extended** or **Multiple** for selecting the entire column. This column selection can be performed when clicking the column header using the [SfDataGrid.CellClick](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.SfDataGrid.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_DataGrid_SfDataGrid_CellClick) event.

Private Sub sfDataGrid_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.CellClickEventArgs)
49+
If e.DataRow.RowType = RowType.HeaderRow AndAlso Me.sfDataGrid.View.TopLevelGroup Is Nothing Then
50+
Dim firstRowDate = Me.sfDataGrid.View.Records(0)
51+
Dim lastRowData = Me.sfDataGrid.View.Records(Me.sfDataGrid.View.Records.Count - 1)
52+
Dim column = e.DataColumn.GridColumn
53+
If firstRowDate IsNot Nothing AndAlso lastRowData IsNot Nothing Then
54+
Me.sfDataGrid.ClearSelection()
55+
Me.sfDataGrid.SelectCells(firstRowDate, column, lastRowData, column)
56+
