<p>I have a <code>DataGridView</code> bound to a <code>DataView</code>. The grid can be sorted by the user on any column.</p>

<p>I add a row to the grid by calling NewRow on the <code>DataView</code>'s underlying <code>DataTable</code>, then adding it to the <code>DataTable</code>'s Rows collection. How can I select the newly-added row in the grid?</p>

<p>I tried doing it by creating a <code>BindingManagerBase</code> object bound to the <code>BindingContext</code> of the <code>DataView</code>, then setting <code>BindingManagerBase.Position = BindingManagerBase.Count</code>. This works if the grid is not sorted, since the new row gets added to the bottom of the grid. However, if the sort order is such that the row is not added to the bottom, this does not work.</p>

<p>How can I reliably set the selected row of the grid to the new row?</p>

Assuming you have some sort of unique identifier in your data source you could iterate over your collection of rows and compare, as such:
```
```
Dim myRecentItemID As Integer = 3

For Each row As GridViewRow In gvIndividuals.Rows
    Dim drv As DataRowView = DirectCast(row.DataItem, DataRowView)
    If CInt(drv("ItemID")) = myRecentItemID Then
        gvIndividuals.EditIndex = row.RowIndex
    End If
Next
```
```
Hope this helps!
