RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(Object) Method

Returns a data source row containing the specified RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ValueMember field value.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual object GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(
    object keyValue
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Function GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue(
    keyValue As Object
) As Object

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
keyValue	Object	The value of the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ValueMember field for the row to be located.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	An object representing the data source record containing the specified value. null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no record with the specified value in the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ValueMember field was found.

Remarks

The lookup editor’s value is obtained from the data source field specified by the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ValueMember property. The GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue method searches for the specified value within this field and returns an object representing the first found record.

The GetDataSourceRowByKeyValue method’s return value depends upon the type of the underlying data source. If the data source is a System.Data.DataTable or a System.Data.DataView, this method returns a System.Data.DataRowView object. If the data source is a custom list of items, the appropriate list item is returned.

Example

The following example shows how to customize a standalone Lookup editor to select a city:

In this example:

• Persons and Cities lists contain Person and CityInfo objects. Person objects are linked to CityInfo objects.
• The TextEdit and LookUpEdit controls edit the Person.Name and Person.CityID properties, respectively.
• The lookup displays items from the Cities list.
• The DataNavigator control navigates between items in the Persons list.
