Hi Ashwin,

You can execute this code to select the first row :

if (RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items.Count > 0)
    RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[0].Selected = true;

[Ashwin Deshpande]

The code given by you doesn't work.....i even tried this...

 

 

If RadGrid1.SelectedIndexes.Count <= 0 Then

 

 

 

 

RadGrid1.SelectedIndexes.Add(0)

 

End If

 

but when i Click on sort in header again grid doesn;t contain any selected row....

When are you executing that code? Have you tried executing that code in the DataBound event of the RadGrid?

[Warren]

You can put this code on PreRender event.

But also, you have to check if render event is fired because user has selected a row.

Create a global Flag called IsSelectedIndexChangedFired and set it to false.

In SelectedIndexChanged event set this flag to true.

No, in PreRender check if this flag is set to true, then do not select first row, else do it.

ItemDataBound does not have any records in the grid. So this will not work. 

Pre-render also doesn't have records as the grid renders first, then the data is bound.

So which event can we tap into which already has the rows loaded?

Hello Warren,

I have followed your scenario and prepared a sample project for you demonstrating how the desired functionality can be implemented on PreRender. You can find it attached to this message.

I hope this helps.

Hi Karthik,

Can you please verify that you have added the !IsPostBack condition before making the selection?

Hi Eyup,

I'm binding data to rad grid through "STATIC" Page methods and selection of rows is completely in JavaScript functions

Hi Karthik,

I have prepared a sample RadGrid web site to test the described behavior. Can you please check out the attached application and verify that selecting the first item on initial load is working as expected?

Kind regards,
