How to get DataRow object of a selected row in the Grid

[Preethi Ghalke]

Hi All,

I have a private method which populates the Grid with the DataRow objects. Now I want to get hold of the underlying DataRow object of the selected row. I tried doing the following but it fails:

private void singleColumnPKGrid__SelectionChanged(object sender, GridSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.mbPKStatus_.Enabled = true;
this.mbViewPKProp_.Enabled = true;
CurrencyManager cm = grid.BindingContext[grid.DataSource, grid.DataMember] as CurrencyManager;
int i = cm.Count; //this returns an interger value
DataRow dr = ((DataRowView)cm.Current).Row; // this fails.
String str = dr[RID_COLNAME].ToString();
}

Is this the right way ? if no, can anybody help us with an appropriate code sample.

A quick response will be appreciated as I''m unable to proceed. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Preethi.

Hi Preethi, Attached is a sample which gets a column value from the underlying DataRow. If you can reproduce the issue in the attached sample and send it back, we can get back soon with a solution. Regards, Calvin.

Hello, I found that the "official example" from the Knowledge Base isn''t working for me. I never get the right row when I use: CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[this.gridDataBoundGrid1.DataSource]; DataRowView dr = (DataRowView)cm.Current; as described in the example. What is working for me is: CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager) this.BindingContext[this.grid1.DataSource, this.grid1.DataMember]; DataRow dr = ((DataRowView) ((DataView)cm.List)[grid1.Binder.CurrentPosition]).Row; I can''t say that I understand what happens here. Do I make something wrong? The underlying Datasource for the GDBG is a DataTable and I''m working with Syncfusion 4.1 and VSProf2003 (.NET 1.1). >Hi Calvin, > >Thanks for your prompt response. > >Will checkout the sample n let you know if we are doing any different in our code. > >Regards, >Preethi. > >>Hi Preethi, >> >>Attached is a sample which gets a column value from the underlying DataRow.

Sorry, I''ve made a mistake in my preious posting:

What is NOT working from the Knowledeg Base is:

CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager) this.BindingContext[this.gridDataBoundGrid1.DataSource, this.gridDataBoundGrid1.DataMember];

DataRow dr = ((DataRowView) cm.Current).Row;

Hope I got it now.
