How to get Devexpress XtraGrid control selected row












0















I've a devexpress XtraGrid Control. But, I couldn't get the ID of a by default selected row when the winform loads. I know how to get it when the user clicks on the grid.



Here is the code snapshot:



    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
grid1.DataSource = bindData(DataClassesDataContext.Table1.ToList());

ID = Convert.ToInt32(gridView.GetRowCellValue(gridView.FocusedRowHandle, "ID"));
XtraMessageBox.Show(ID.ToString());
}


public BindingSource bindData(object obj)
{
BindingSource ctBinding;
try
{
ctBinding = new BindingSource();

ctBinding.DataSource = obj;

return ctBinding;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
XtraMessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Database Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return null;
}
}

  • it's a table object that is accessed using LINQ to SQL

  • Could you specify the problem you are having. I don't think I understand what you need.

  • The problem is that every time the form loads it throws "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." When i look deeper into the code, the problem lies on getting the focused row (by default) value. It returns 0 (for the ID) even though there are too many rows in the list. It works fine when i click on the rows though. But, what I want it to get the ID when the form loads

  • you should really add that to your question. If it returns 0, you are looking at the RowHandle, not the row value. Try moving your code to a form_Shown event instad of form_Load event

If I understand you correctly, you need something like this:



  private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
grid1.DataSource = bindData(DataClassesDataContext.Table1.ToList());

var item = gridView.GetFocusedRow() as YourDataType
if(item != null)
{
ID = item.ID;
XtraMessageBox.Show(ID.ToString());
}
}


assuming what your bindData returns a typed collection of some kind.



** Update **



Moving the code to form_Shown seemed to do the trick.

var item = gridView.GetFocusedRow() as YourDataType
