DxGrid.SelectDataItem(Object, Boolean) Method

Selects or deselects a row that corresponds to the specified data item.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

public void SelectDataItem(
    object dataItem,
    bool selected = true
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
dataItem	Object	The data item.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
selected	Boolean	True	true to select the row; false to deselect the row.

Remarks

The following methods allow you to manage Grid selection:

• SelectRow (DeselectRow)
• SelectRows (DeselectRows)
• SelectDataItem (DeselectDataItem)
• SelectDataItems (DeselectDataItems)
• SelectAllOnPage (DeselectAllOnPage)
• SelectAllAsync (DeselectAllAsync)
• ClearSelection

Call the SelectDataItem method and pass a data item as the parameter to select the corresponding row. The method’s behavior depends on the SelectionMode property value:

• In multiple selection mode, the method keeps the previously selected rows and adds the specified row to the selection. To access selected data items, implement two-way binding for the SelectedDataItems property or handle the SelectedDataItemsChanged event.

• In single selection mode, the method changes selection to the specified row. To access the selected data item, implement two-way binding for the SelectedDataItem property or handle the SelectedDataItemChanged event.

To deselect a row and its corresponding data item, do any of the following:

• Call the DeselectDataItem method.
• Call the SelectDataItem method and pass false as the second parameter.

The following example selects and deselects a row that corresponds to the first data item:
