Hi,
Need to detect editing a cell and bind to a command in a mvvm pattern.
Can be done?
Thanks for your time

I was trying to find the row number of the selected DataGrid item. This article was the closest thing I could find by searching. The problem was I use a context menu (not a mouse click) to initiate the routine that needs to know the row number. After a day of experimenting, I finally came up with this code that seems to be the simplest method to determine the row number.

DataRowView prop = (DataRowView)myDataGrid.SelectedValue;
DataRow rowData =(DataRow)prop.Row;
int selectedRow = _myDataTable.Rows.IndexOf(rowData);

myDataGrid is the grid name. _myDataTable is the name of the datatable to fills the grid.

Hope this helps someone else.

That’s a simple one … WPF != WinForms
