Assuming that you are viewing the DataSet via a DataGrid on a Web form, call DataGrid.SelectedIndex

>>>My specific problem: I have an array of child datarows, each with a specific rowid within the form's dataset. I want to set currencymanager.position to a selected child record - this updates my displayed values based on the databindings I've established for the form controls.

>>>The datarow object contains a member named rowid. Rowid holds an integer which corresponds to the value I want to set to currencymanager.position, however, the rowid member is private and can not be accessed programatically.
