what I want is when grid is showing orders list and any cell is selected from this grid and I click show detail

It shall change grid view to show new table according to one value in 2nd cell (orderID column )of this selected row

Is there some property which is disabling it.. I cant see any intellisense options for Rows!!!! btw i populated this view by using

I am using WPF and c# .net on VS2010

moreover when i select datagrid.currentcell I dont get back the value in string format how to do that??

dataGrid.DataContext = tableName;
                dataGrid.ItemsSource = dsOrderInfo.Tables[tableName].DefaultView;

code which is not working is:

        {
            if (dataGridShowOrders==true)

To select the current row you can try with:

dataGrid.CurrentRow.Selected = true;

Hi csdeol,

It is true there is no CurrentRow property in DataGrid class.

However, you can get the current row index by:

dataGrid.CurrentRowIndex;

or

dataGrid.CurrentCell.RowNumber;

In Windows Forms, you can also use DataGridView class, there is CurrentRow property.

If you are using WPF, I suggest you to post in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) forum for help.

Best regards,
