If you'd like to enlighten the rest of us on what "it" was, please feel free to do so at any time.

Not quite what you were looking for, but close. Try something like this...
'attach to the mouse up event
'this will highlight an entire row,
'regardless of where in the row the user clicked

Dim pt = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = dgContacts.HitTest(pt)
If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell Then
dgContacts.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(hti.Row, hti.Column)
dgContacts.Select(hti.Row)
End If

Have you tried using the PreRender event for dgContacts.CurrentRowIndex = 0?
