[Solved] Change Selected Index from code

[JungTae]

When I was using the silverlight DataGrid, I had a following code

this.PricingModelGrid.SelectedIndex = 0;

how however, I'm trying to replace all my datagrid with RadGridView, and I need to know how to change the selected index of a RadGridView from the c# code.

Hi JungTae,

Something like :

private void SetSelectedItemByIndex(int index)
    {
        this.radGridView1.SelectedItem = this.radGridView1.Items[index];
    }

should do the trick.

All the best,

Pavel,
This is nice to know. Also I was trying the reverse of this. That is, getting the selected index of the RadGridView.
This is what I have right now:
int selectedindex = radGridView.SelectedItems.IndexOf(radGridView.SelectedItem);

But for some reason I always get 0 (zero) as the value for the selectedindex, which is the first row of the grid.
What could be the cause.
Thanks,
HDD.

If you are using LINQ, you can use this code. I am currently using it in many places in my code

int index = this.myGrid.Items.IndexOf(this.myGrid.SelectedItem)

I have set the Itemsource to silverlight gird... in the same function i going to select the row by passing the row index.

like this.radGridView1.SelectedItem = this.radGridView1.Items[1];

It says Index out of range, but i have 5 records in the grid.

But when i pass the same on button click it works fine..

could u please help me out..

Hi Prakash,

I believe you are trying to access the Items before they are actually available. Could you please try to set the SelectedItem in an event handler for DataLoaded.
