SelectedItem is null after cell edit and auto sort

[Chris]

 Hi, 
    I have a RadGridView bind to a datatable and sort by Name column. My problem is after I modify the Name column, the RadGridView performs a 'auto sort' and the current selected row is deselected and the SelectedItem is Nothing.

    How can I preserve the selected row after the 'auto sort'?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

The reason why this behaviour occurs is that when the value by which the item is sorted is changed the GridView executes a kind of rebind logic, where the SelectedItem is reset.  

 You could set the IsSyncronizedWithCurrentItem property of the GridView to True and that way the SelectedItem will be always the CurrentItem.
