Exporting datagridview to csv file

LINQ FTW!

var sb = new StringBuilder();

var headers = dataGridView1.Columns.Cast<DataGridViewColumn>();
sb.AppendLine(string.Join(",", headers.Select(column => "\"" + column.HeaderText + "\"").ToArray()));

foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
    var cells = row.Cells.Cast<DataGridViewCell>();
    sb.AppendLine(string.Join(",", cells.Select(cell => "\"" + cell.Value + "\"").ToArray()));
}

And indeed, c.Value.ToString() will throw on null value, while c.Value will correctly convert to an empty string.
