  Hello
  
  I want to let the user find a row by the value of a specific column
  this is the scenario-
  the user write a text in a TextBox
  and click search
  then I take the text and find the row
  

  (((System.Data.DataView)RadGridView1.ItemsSource).Table.Select("ActivityName like '%" + txtSearch.Text + "%' ")[0])

  now I want to select this row
  how can I do it?

  Hi Orit,
  

  Once you have found the data item you just need to set it as SelectedItem and it will be selected. For example:

  var itemToSelect = (((System.Data.DataView)RadGridView1.ItemsSource).Table.Select("ActivityName like '%" + txtSearch.Text + "%' ")[0]);

  this.myGrid.SelectedItem = itemToSelect;

  I tried it
  but it does not work
  the SelectedItem is null.

  Hi Orit,
  

  I guess that either the itemToSelect is null or it is not present in the ItemsSource that the grid is bound to. Since you are using a DataView I guess the grid is bound to a list of DataRowView items. If that is the case you will need to find the corresponding DataRowView (the Select method return a DataRow) item and set this item as SelectedItem. 

  
  Kind regards,
