Preselecting in DataGrid

[Lewis Wang [MSFT]]

Hi Ingeborg,

You can use the primary key to locate the row. Please check the code
snippet below:

//"ds" is the dataset which will be binded to the datagrid.
ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.Sort = "id";//Sort by key
int nn=ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.Find(3);//eg: 3 is a key value of a row.
Then you can get the index of the row.
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex =nn;
DataGrid1.DataSource= dw;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

You can check the link for more information:

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Lewis Wang

| Hi.
|
| Is it somehow possible to preselect an item in a DataGrid?
| How can you select an item in the datagrid when you only
| know what datarow you want to be selected, but need to get
| the ItemIndex for setting the DataGrid.SelectedIndex?
|
| Thanks in advance.
