Hello Rahul,

May you provide a bit more details about requirements ? Why do you want to set all items as selected initially ? Do you want to change only the visual state of the items or you want to use the SelectedItems afterwards ?

Hello Maya ,

I have requirement like all rows of datagrid should be selected on page load itself.

I need to use the selected items afterwords.

Hello Rahul,

You may add all the items from the Items collection of the grid to the SelectedItems collection during the Loaded event:

void playersGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            foreach(Player player in this.playersGrid.Items)
            {
                this.playersGrid.SelectedItems.Add(player);
            }
        }

Another possible approach would be to follow the idea demonstrated in this blog post.  

All the best,
