Automatic Incrementation C#

I am using a DataGridView in my application that contains columns, one of them named ID. I set the ID column to read only. My question is, if I want to add a new record to the DataGridView and the ID column automatically incrementing by 1, how do I do so?

Your DataGridView is not doing anything on the underlying data. What DataSource do you use? A DataTable (or DataSet of DataTables) can have DataColumns that autoincrement. See more about the DataGridView here

DataColumn, which is used in a DataTable, which is in turn displayed in a DataGridView, has properties for autonumbering.

Please see this cookbok:

or if you want to switch to DataSets, this:
