   Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseDown
    Try
        With DataGridView1
            .Rows(.HitTest(e.X, e.Y).RowIndex).Selected = True

You can use HitTest to get the cell that the mouse is over. (It is not dependant on the MouseDown-Event, you just need the mouse position relative to the DataGrid)

example: 

Private Sub dg_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs) Handles dg.MouseDown
    Dim htinfo As HitTestInfo = dg.HitTest(new Point(e.X, e.Y))

    If htinfo.Type = HitTestType.Cell Then
        Dim clickedCell As DataGridCell = dg.Item(htinfo.Row, htinfo.Column)
    End If
End Sub
