VB.NET 2005 RC - Datagrid issue

I have an application which uses a datagrid to display a property listing.  The list will contain around a quarter of a million records so I need the user to have a simple way to search.

I have built a search routine which allows the user to type some text in to a toolstrip bar and then performs a search through the dataset.  The issue I have is when the routine finds a match, I need it to highlight the row on the datagrid.  This is where I have the problem; I cannot see how to achieve this.

 I have tried searching everywhere (Google/Experts Exchange etc) and have seen some pretty ridiculous solutions such as mimicking a user clicking on the mouse.

I also found what I thought were useful ideas such as :

 


DataGrid.Select(DataGrid.CurrentRowIndex)
 

 I tried this (and similar ones) but it would appear that MS has changed the way Datagrids work in .NET 2.  "Overload failed because no accessible 'select' supports this number of arguments".

 I also tried setting the 'CurrentRowIndex' property but this even though it exists in the help, when I try to use it I get: "'CurrentRowIndex' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView'"

 Does anybody know how to programmatically position and highlight a row using VB.NET 2005

 Thanks

    Hi,

    You can try (assuming index is the index of the row you want to select).


    ' Clear the existing selection.
    Me.DataGridView1.ClearSelection()
    ' Select the row.
    Me.DataGridView1.Rows(index).Selected = True
    ' Scroll to the selected row in case it was hidden.
    Me.DataGridView1.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = index

     


    I'm still having troubles selecting the row's header cell. I'm not sure if it's doable.

    HTH,

    To move the row header selection, you'll have to set the DataGridView's CurrentCell to one of the cell on the row.


    Me.DataGridView1.CurrentCell = Me.DataGridView1.Rows(index).Cells(0)

     


    HTH,
