Find cell in RadGridview silverlight

[ivan]

I want to find is there cell with searched content. From silverlight application I select table and put it to Element Explorer with name GrdRadgridview.
Then I try to find cell with
    <CodedStep("Find In DataGrid", RequiresSilverlight:=True)> _
    Public Sub FindInRow()
        Dim app As SilverlightApp = ActiveBrowser.SilverlightApps()(0)
        app.VisualTree.Refresh()
        Dim FindCell As DataGridCell = Pages.UIManagerCMXaml.SilverlightApp.GrdRadgridview.Find.ByExpression(New XamlFindExpression("TextContent=TEST")).[As](Of DataGridCell)()
    End Sub

but got message
The control type 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Silverlight.UI.DataGridCell' does not match the xaml tag 'textblock'

even if there is cell with searched value.

Hi Ivan,
    you seem to be trying to convert a TextBlock element to a DataGridCell element.

This is the statement in question:
Find.ByExpression(New XamlFindExpression("TextContent=TEST")).[As](Of DataGridCell)
This part returns an element:
Find.ByExpression(New XamlFindExpression("TextContent=TEST"))
and then this part tries to convert it to DataGridCell:
.[As](Of DataGridCell)

However, you can't turn just any element into a DataGridCell. In this instance
Find.ByExpression(New XamlFindExpression("TextContent=TEST"))
seems to be returning a TextBlock.

Please make sure
Find.ByExpression(New XamlFindExpression("TextContent=TEST"))
returns what you intended it to return (and that should be something convertable to DataGridCell). If you do want it to return a TextBlock then what you're trying to do simply can't be done.

I hope this helps, let me know how it goes!

Best wishes,

Thanks Stoich,

I manage to find searched text content from data cells, and as I understood it, it should always be textblock.
I was trying to make dataGridcell or dataGridrow object with XamlFindExpression but with to success. Only object I can create is textbock and for now, this is enough. It seems that I do not understand format of XamlFindExpression that shold be correct for converting it in cell or row object.

Best regards
