Help with selecting rows in Grid based on string value

>If utubeC.Split(",").Contains(C1SDeactivation.Rows(i).ToString) Then

Should that not be

If utubeC.Split(",").Contains(C1SDeactivation.Rows(i).Cells(CellIndex).Value.ToString) Then

Hi,

Thanks for the code, when I tried it, I received error messsage: "CellIndex is not declared it may be inaccessible due toi its protection level.

When I use undeclared variables in my code examples, I expect you to replace those appropriately. What CellIndex meant is... index of the column that you are trying to check (such as ID) just like you are using i as rowindex.

I am checking the string variable against the first column in the Grid.

 SDeactivation_ID  SDeactivation
0                             ItemA
1                             ItemB
2                             ItemC
3                             ItemD

Tried the following code:

 If utubeC.Split(",").Contains(C1SDeactivation.Rows(i).Cells(SDeactivation_ID).Value.ToString) Then

But it still does not work. Error SDeactivation is not declared,it may be inaceesible to to its protection level.

Also tried:

 If utubeC.Split(",").Contains(C1SDeactivation.Rows(i).Cells("SDeactivation_ID").Value.ToString) Then

That also did not work, waiting to hear back from componentOne.

Thanks,

Victor

I'm not getting an error with code below but i  is stuck in 0, any ideas why?
I tried i = i + 1 within the loop but msgbox value only shows 0, which i assume is the value for the first row.

 For i As Integer = 0 To C1SDeactivation.RowCount - 1
            MsgBox(C1SDeactivation.Columns(0).Value.ToString)
                    If utubeC.Split(",").Contains(C1SDeactivation.Columns(0).Value.ToString)
Then
 C1SDeactivation.SelectedRows.Add(i)
            End If
        Next

You are only using .Columns collection without any reference to a row hence same value all the time.
