>Once the data is sorted, you have to go through binding context object.

Hi Jayesh,

I've been able to do this without a binding context. If the grid is bound to the DefaultView of a DataTable, I can do something like (I don't have VS.NET or the code with me, so this is just from memory):

dataTable.DefaultView[dataGrid.SelectedIndex]["id"].ToString();

Sorting the grid must also sort the default view identically, which is why the index numbers match up regardless of how the grid is sorted.

Do you know if there are advantages or disadvantages to using this method versus the binding context?
