If I have a datagrid with an attached context menu, how can prevent the
context menu from opening if it is not over a row in the grid?

assuming you are still on VS 2003.

Private Sub MyDataGrid_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) _
    Handles MyDataGrid.MouseDown
  Dim hi As System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestInfo
  hi = MyDataGrid.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)

  ' Test if the clicked area was a cell.
  If hi.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell Then
     Me.MyDataGrid.ContextMenu = Me.GridContextMenu
     Me.manipulatedRow = hi.Row
     Me.manipulatedColumn = hi.Column
      Else
    Me.MyDataGrid.ContextMenu = Nothing
  End If
End Sub
