For completness of this question, better to use a Grid event rather than mouse.

First Set your datagrid properties:

SelectionMode to FullRowSelect and RowTemplate / ContextMenuStrip to a context menu.

Create the CellMouseDown event:-

private void myDatagridView_CellMouseDown(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        int rowSelected = e.RowIndex;
        if (e.RowIndex != -1)
        {
            this.myDatagridView.ClearSelection();
            this.myDatagridView.Rows[rowSelected].Selected = true;
        }
        // you now have the selected row with the context menu showing for the user to delete etc.
    }
}
