Find a row in dataGridView based on column and value

Question

I have a dataGridView that has 3 columns: SystemId, FirstName, LastName that is bound using database information. I would like to highlight a certain row, which I would do

Answer 1

Those who use WPF

for (int i = 0; i < dataGridName.Items.Count; i++)
{
      string cellValue= ((DataRowView)dataGridName.Items[i]).Row["columnName"].ToString();                
      if (cellValue.Equals("Search_string")) // check the search_string is present in the row of ColumnName
      {
         object item = dataGridName.Items[i];
         dataGridName.SelectedItem = item; // selecting the row of dataGridName
         dataGridName.ScrollIntoView(item);                    
         break;
      }
}

if you want to get the selected row items after this, the follwing code snippet is helpful

DataRowView drv = dataGridName.SelectedItem as DataRowView;
DataRow dr = drv.Row;
string item1= Convert.ToString(dr.ItemArray[0]);// get the first column value from selected row 
string item2= Convert.ToString(dr.ItemArray[1]);// get the second column value from selected row
