thanks,

I tried that, I have the following set.

ColWidthDefault="200px" EnableInternalRowsManagement="True"

rowheightdefault="15px" rowsrange="20" SelectTypeCellDefault="None"

stationarymargins="Header" tablelayout="Fixed"

ColFootersVisibleDefault="Yes" ViewType="OutlookGroupBy"

CellClickActionDefault="RowSelect">

but when double clicking the the cell or any cell on the row, it fails the

You might be able to look at the grid's "active" row instead, particularly if you only expect to otherwise have one "selected" row at a time.  In other words, you might want to look at "dgRecipList.ActiveRow" instead of "dgRecipList.DisplayLayout.SelectedRows".

If you aren't showing your row selectors, then clicking on a cell won't automatically "select" the row, but it will "activate" both the row and the cell.  You could probably write JavaScript to "select" a corresponding row whenever a cell is activated, especially since you're only allowing single-row selection at a time - but that sounds like it would be more work than what you may need.

you said datagrid.activerow  however all i can see is displaylayout.activerow.I tried this without the desired results.

I am showing row selectors on the grid.

The full grid setup is below.

You're correct - I did mean the grids' DisplayLayout.ActiveRow property.

In what way did this not get the result you were after?

Another idea:  I assume you're handling the grid's server-side DblClick event?  If so, then e.Cell will be the cell you double-clicked (or null, if you double-clicked elsewhere on the grid).  If this is not null, then e.Cell.Row is the row that contains the cell you double-clicked.  Does this help?

yes that helps....

what I did before your response was this..

If dgRecipList.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow Is Nothing Then

Exit Sub

End If

dgRecipList.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow.Selected = True

I found that this:

If dgRecipList.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow Is Nothing Then

                 Exit Sub

End If

dgRecipList.DisplayLayout.ActiveRow.Selected = True
