Question

I would like to change the forecolor of a DataGridViewRow when a DataTable event is fired (specifically the DataColumnChangeEvent). In order to do so I need to get the associated DataGridViewRow of the row the event occurred on.

I have the following:

private void DataColumnChanged(object sender, DataColumnChangeEventArgs e)
     {
     DataColumn col = e.Column;
     DataRow row = e.Row;

     if (col != null && row != null)
        {
        if (col.ColumnName == "abc")
           {
           String str = col.ToString();

           if (str == "1")
              {
              DataGridViewRow dgvr = <somehow get row's associated DataGridViewRow> 
              ChangeRowForeColor(dgvr, "Purple");
              }
           }
        }

The following questions are the reverse direction (getting a DataRow from a DataGridViewRow), so I know that it can be found one way at least, but I can’t seem to find info on the reverse problem.

How do I get a DataRow from a row in a DataGridView

How to determine which DataRow is bound to a DataGridViewRow

Example code of how to determine a DataGridViewRow from a DataRow would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Call dataView.Find on the row’s primary key.

EDIT: To find the DataGridViewRow for a DataRowView, call grid.Rows[dataView.IndexOf(drv)).
