I have the next code where I defined a WPF toolkit datagrid control called dgQuery; I filled this one with information of a dataset, then I inserted a new checkbox column in
var row = GetDataGridRows(dataGrid1);
/// go through each row in the datagrid
foreach (Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridRow r in row)
{
DataRowView rv = (DataRowView)r.Item;
// Get the state of what's in column 1 of the current row (in my case a string)
string t = rv.Row[1].ToString();
}
