Find Index of DataRowView in DataView

Question

Is there a way to get the index of a selected DataRowView in a DataRow?

I current have the following code

private long GetSelectedIndex(DataView dataView, string searchString)
{
    long selectedIndex = 0;

    foreach(DataRowView dataRow in dataView)
    {
        if(dataRow.Row.ItemArray.Contains(searchString)
        {
            //Do Something.... I've tried everything to get the index out of the dataRow
        }
    }

    return selectedIndex;
}

Maybe try

int index = dataView.Table.Rows.IndexOf(dataRow.Row)

Worked like a charm! Thanks! – jDave1984 Apr 03 '18 at 13:28
Like it was just pointed out, this will just be the index of the table row, not the view row. The views row index changes based on the sorting method and probably the filter as well. – Kasper Olesen Apr 22 '21 at 08:21

This won't work unless your DataView has the same rows and sort order as the parent DataTable! – izzy Jun 17 '21 at 18:24
