Find and Select a row in a DataGrid

[Ibai Peña]

Hi,

How can I find a value in a DataGrid (in a specific column), and select its
row?

I have found the DataGrid.Select(int irowSel) method, but I dont know the
index of the row to be selected.
Must I iterate throw the DataGrid and look for the value in each row? is
there any other way?

Thanks in advance,

If your grid is bound to dataview, you can use DataView.Find

If you can't use .IndexOf()

These work:

private void ComboByValue(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox combo,
string defaultValue)
{
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < combo.Items.Count; i++)
{
combo.Visible = false;
combo.SelectedIndex = i;
if (defaultValue == combo.SelectedValue.ToString()) break;
}
combo.Visible = true;
}
catch{combo.SelectedIndex = 0;}
}

private void ComboByText(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox combo, string
defaultValue)
{
try
{
if (defaultValue == string.Empty)
{
combo.SelectedIndex = -1;
return;
}
for (int i = 0; i < combo.Items.Count; i++)
{
combo.Visible = false;
combo.SelectedIndex = i;
if (defaultValue == combo.Text) break;
}
combo.Visible = true;
}
catch{combo.SelectedIndex = 0;}
}

Sorry - wrong control in that last reply, but the concept applies.
