dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value = textBox5.Text;
dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[2].Value = textBox7.Text;
dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[3].Value = dateTimePicker3.Value;

Here is what I would suggest now knowing that you are indeed in a forms project. I see another person has suggested this already, I am adding in assertion so that if any of the TextBox controls are empty the row is not added.

if ((!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox6.Text)) || (!!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox5.Text)) || (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textBox7.Text)))
{
    dataGridView1.Rows.Add(new object[] {textBox6.Text,textBox5.Text,textBox7.Text,dateTimePicker3.Value });
}

Assuming you have setup correctly your DataGridView columns, you can use the following DataGridViewRowCollection.Add Method (Object[]) overload like this

dataGridView1.Rows.Add(textBox6.Text, textBox5.Text, textBox7.Text, dateTimePicker3.Value);

Note that the above will work only if the count of the columns in the grid view is the same as the count of the passed values.

Alternatively you can use something like this, which would work for every scenario

int rowIndex = dataGridView1.Rows.Add();
var row = dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex];
row.Cells[0].Value = textBox6.Text;
row.Cells[1].Value = textBox5.Text;
row.Cells[2].Value = textBox7.Text;
row.Cells[3].Value = dateTimePicker3.Value;

You can create an array of strings from the textboxes and add this to the datagrid view.

string[] row = new string[] { textBox6.Text,textBox5.Text,textBox7.Text,
           dateTimePicker3.Value};
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(row);
