Selected item in code behind

[Marcin]

I have a problem with selected item on the grid from code behind using GridViewSelectColumn. I have this code:

private void SelectElement(string element)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < rg.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                if (((WSIS.WSInSEAAtrTElementListy)rg.Items[i]).Atc_Id.ToString() == element)
                {
                    rg.SelectedItems.Add(rg.Items[i]);
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

It isn't working. Could you have some ideas?

Hi Marcin,

Are you executing this code right after ItemsSource has been set? If that is the case I would kindly ask you to move the selection logic to the DataLoaded event. Currently the selection mechanism cannot be invoked before RadGridView is shown for the first time. We have already fixed this limitation for Q2.

All the best,
