Hi Swathi,

 
You mause use ScrollIntoViewAsync method of RadGridView to scroll and to select the newly added item within AddingNewDataItem event of RadGridView:

private void RadGridView_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)
{
    // TODO: Add event handler implementation here.
    var gridView=e.OwnerGridViewItemsControl;
    this.gridView.ScrollIntoViewAsync(this.gridView.Items[this.gridView.Items.Count - 1], //the row
                         this.gridView.Columns[this.gridView.Columns.Count - 1], //the column
                         new Action<FrameworkElement>((f) =>
                         {
                            (f as GridViewRow).IsSelected = true; // the callback method
                         }));

}

1. Where can I reach the answer without questioning in this forum?
I am talking about specifically which part of the documentation. Because in addition to the practical answer given here, I'd like to understand better about class hierarchy of WPF tool form Telerik.

2. Is there any reason for deciding not to have this behavior as default for RadGridView_AddingNewDataItem()?
It seems a bit counterintuitive.
Especially when we use 'CanUserInsertRows' property is set to 'true' and 'SelectionMode' is 'Single'.
