Binded textbox values not updating when current row changes in DataGridView-CodePudding

I have a dataset with a datatable in it, and I have misc. textboxes in my main form binded to this datatable. How can I update my textboxes when selection is changed in a datagridview that is also binded to the same datatable?

can add code to this question as needed. not sure what all is needed if anything at all.

Edits to explain: below is showing that I did indeed have my text bound to the dataset as Caius had shown me on previous question.

and a bit of code to show that the datgridview is linked to dataset datatable

        //json file holding all data to be parsed.
        string myDynamicJSON = File.ReadAllText(@"testLibrary.json");

        //the data
        ToolJson ToolData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ToolJson> 
       (myDynamicJSON);

        //DataTable with something in it, do the binding
        BindingSource SBind = new BindingSource();
        SBind.DataSource = tooldataSet.Tables["Tool"];
        


        //looks into File finds json fields, and assign them to 
        variables to be used in C# to create the rows.
        foreach (var datum in ToolData.datum)
        {
            string description = datum.Description;
            string vendor = datum.Vendor;
            double cost = datum.Cost;
            string serial = datum.ProductLink;
            string employee = datum.employee;
            string location = datum.location;
            bool returntool = datum.returnTool;
            int onHand = datum.onHandQty;
            int stockQty = datum.stockQty;
            int orderQty = datum.orderQty;
            string toolType = datum.Type;
            double diameter = datum.Geometry.Dc;
            double OAL = datum.Geometry.Oal;
            string productID = datum.ProductId;


            //Populate the DataTable with rows of data
            DataRow dr = tooldataSet.Tool.NewRow();

            // Fill the values
            dr["Description"] = description;
            dr["Vendor"] = vendor;
            dr["Cost"] = cost;
            dr["Serial #"] = serial;
            dr["Employee"] = employee;
            dr["Location"] = location;
            dr["OnHand"] = onHand;
            dr["StockQty"] =stockQty;
            dr["OrderQty"] = orderQty;
            dr["Return"] = returntool;
            dr["Diameter"] = diameter;
            dr["OAL"] = OAL;
            dr["Type"] = toolType;
            dr["Product Id"] = productID;
            


            //once all data is added to the row, add the row, and loop 
            untill all data is loaded.
            tooldataSet.Tool.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
        //bind our dataset.table to the gridview
        toolDataGridView.DataSource = SBind;

        transactionEmployee_Box.Text = "";
        transactionSerial_Box.Text = "";

I have found my own answer. The closest i had gotten to getting this accomplished was, active_Description.text = Convert.ToString(toolDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells[2]);

but I never realized I can add .value to the end of that and it works just fine. active_Description.text = Convert.ToString(toolDataGridView.CurrentRow.Cells[2].Value) is what I needed.

I have misc. textboxes in my main form binded

Humor me; it'll take about 2 minutes to do this:

make a new winforms .net framework project
add a DataSet type file to it, open it
right click in the dataset surface and add a datatable
add two columns to the table
switch to the form designer
open the data sources window (view menu >> other windows)
expand every node in the data sources window
drag the table node to the form
drag the two column nodes to the form
run the app, bash 3 rows of data into the dgv with any random test data
click randomly up and down the rows, and see the textboxes change..

..that's data binding!
