Selecting a Row in a DataGrid

But if You use sorting or filtering in DataGrid use DataView instead of DataTable. The simple solution (not tested, when it works): myDataGrid.DefaultView[myRow].Row[myField] or more complicated - create Your own property in object inherited from DataGrid: public DataView GridView { get { try { return (DataView)(this.ListManager.List); } catch { return null; } } } and use it: myDataGrid.GridView[myRow].Row[myField]

When You select only one row (standard in DataGrid) it's quite good. Next - you may create inherited DataGrid and override select methods (with "new" keyword; usual overriding is impossible). Now I'm trying to do this. I use four methods: public new void Select(int row){ ... } public new void UnSelect(int row){ ... } public new bool IsSelected(int row){ ... } protected new void ResetSelection(){ ... } It works, but not always - it's necessary to find another methods/properties to override I think. You may create your own event OnSelection etc. in these methods (or create your own delegate with another parameters): public event EventHandler OnSelection; and use it: if(OnSelection!=null) OnSelection(this);
