I’m currently playing with the Silverlight(Beta 2) Datagrid control. Before I wired up the SelectionChanged event, the grid would sort perfectly by clicking on the header. Now, when the grid is clicked, it will fire the SelectionChanged event when I click the header to sort. Is there any way around this?

In a semi-related topic, I’d like to have the SelectionChanged event fire when I click on an already selected item (so that I can have a pop-up occur to allow the user to edit the selected value). Right now, you have to click on a different value and then back to the value you wanted in order for it to pop up. Is there another way?

Included is my code.

    </Border>                    </Grid>      </Grid>

And the call that occurs when the grid’s selection is changed:

Private Sub IncidentGrid_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)      If mFirstTime Then         mFirstTime = False     Else         Dim data As SimpleASMX.EMailMonitor = CType(IncidentGrid.SelectedItem, SimpleASMX.EMailMonitor)         Dim selectedGridItem As SimpleASMX.EMailMonitor = Nothing         If IncidentGrid.SelectedItem IsNot Nothing Then             selectedGridItem = CType(IncidentGrid.SelectedItem, SimpleASMX.EMailMonitor)             EmailPopupTextBox.Text = selectedGridItem.Address             SelectedItemTextBlock.Text = selectedGridItem.AppliesToUserID             WhereClauseTextBox.Text = selectedGridItem.whereClause             IncidentGrid.SelectedIndex = mEmailMonitorData.IndexOf(selectedGridItem)         End If         If IncidentGrid.SelectedIndex > -1 Then             EditPersonPopupGrid.Visibility = Windows.Visibility.Visible         Else             EditPersonPopupGrid.Visibility = Windows.Visibility.Collapsed         End If     End If End Sub

Sorry if my code is atrocious, I’m still learning Silverlight.

  1. That looks like a Silverlight bug to me. I’ve just tried it and what’s happening on my end is that the SelectionChanged event fires twice when you click the column header and to make matters worse, the index of the selected item doesn’t stay synched with the currently selected item.

    I’d suggest you work your way around it by using the knowledge that the first time SelectionChanged fires, the value of the datagrid’s SelectedItem property will be null

    Here’s some sample code that at least lives with the issue. Your SelectionChanged logic can go in the if clause.

    public partial class Page : UserControl {     private Person _currentSelectedPerson;      public Page()     {         InitializeComponent();          List<Person> persons = new List<Person>();         persons.Add(new Person() { Age = 5, Name = 'Tom' });         persons.Add(new Person() { Age = 3, Name = 'Lisa' });         persons.Add(new Person() { Age = 4, Name = 'Sam' });          dg.ItemsSource = persons;     }             private void SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         DataGrid grid = sender as DataGrid;         if (grid.SelectedItem != null)         {             _currentSelectedPerson = grid.SelectedItem as Person;         }         else         {             grid.SelectedItem = _currentSelectedPerson;         }     }  }  public class Person {     public string Name { get; set; }     public int Age { get; set; } }
