C# – Datagridview cell value change update database

cdatagridviewMySQL

I have retrieved data from Mysql database into a DataGridView1. Let us suppose I am in Row 0. When I change the contents of Row 0, Cell 1 and press enter key or a button, the Update query should modify that row, but I am unable to modify the value of the cell. The cell maintains its previous value when i reload data and the database is not modified. For example, if I change the contents of a cell under column Client_Name from "Acs" to "Gmt", how can I change the value of the cell from "Acs" to "Gmt"? and to have it updated into Mysql database, I am using c# in Vs 2012. below is my code that retrieves my database into datagridview1 any help is welcomed thanks.

After series of trials and error, i finally found what i was looking for, thus being able to update database from datagridview below is my worked around code which works 100% hope it helps someone in future, and thanks @RageComplex for helping out, but one more thing does anyone know how to implement that i mean instead of hitting the enter button to take changes in the datagridview you rather click on a button ty

   private void dataGridView1_RowValidated(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            DataTable changes = ((DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource).GetChanges();
            if (changes != null)
            {
                MySqlCommandBuilder mcb = new MySqlCommandBuilder(mySqlDataAdapter);
                mySqlDataAdapter.UpdateCommand = mcb.GetUpdateCommand();
                mySqlDataAdapter.Update(changes);
                ((DataTable)dataGridView1.DataSource).AcceptChanges();

                MessageBox.Show("Cell Updated");
                return;
            }


        }

        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }


    }
