Hi,

How can I find a value in a DataGrid (in a specific column), and select its
row?

I have found the DataGrid.Select(int irowSel) method, but I dont know the
index of the row to be selected.
Must I iterate throw the DataGrid and look for the value in each row? is
there any other way?

Thanks in advance,

If you can't use .IndexOf()

These work:

private void ComboByValue(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox combo,
string defaultValue)
{
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < combo.Items.Count; i++)
{
combo.Visible = false;
combo.SelectedIndex = i;
if (defaultValue == combo.SelectedValue.ToString()) break;
}
combo.Visible = true;
}
catch{combo.SelectedIndex = 0;}
}

private void ComboByText(System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox combo, string
defaultValue)
{
try
{
if (defaultValue == string.Empty)
{
combo.SelectedIndex = -1;
return;
}
for (int i = 0; i < combo.Items.Count; i++)
{
combo.Visible = false;
combo.SelectedIndex = i;
if (defaultValue == combo.Text) break;
}
combo.Visible = true;
}
catch{combo.SelectedIndex = 0;}
}

Sorry - wrong control in that last reply, but the concept applies.
