DataGrid appears already in EditMode

[Alcar]

Prolog: my colleagues already determined that I have lost connection with the real world today

given THAT, I believe I totally forgot how to make my datagrid appear ALREADY in edit mode on a given EditItemIndex.
Considering that the DataSet I bind to it has 1 row:

dgOrders.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dgOrders.SelectedIndex = dgOrders.Items[0].ItemIndex;
dgOrders.DataBind();

I get a nice OutOfRangeException on the second row...

any ideas?

loads of thanks! Daren J. Lahey

dgOrders.DataBind()
dgOrders.edititemindex = yourIndexOfChoice

err....

switch those two statements.... one before the other

being an order entry form I would always like the last index to be opened in edit(unless the user is editing another row).
The problem appears when the order form is empty, I add an empty row to the DataSet and bind it to the datagrid:


ds = new dsOrders();
DataRow dr = ds.Tables[0].NewRow();
dr["StockNumber"] = "";
dr["ProductName"] = "";
dr["Quantity"] = 0;
dr["PricePerUnit"] = 0;
dr["ActualPrice"] = 0;
dr["Weight"] = 0;
dr["subtotal"] = 0;
ds.Tables[0].Rows.Add(dr);
ds.Tables[0].AcceptChanges();
ds.AcceptChanges();

dgOrders.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dgOrders.DataBind();

if I don't bind it once before and I try to open the first index in edit it gives me an OutOfRangeException error, therefore I do:


dgOrders.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
dgOrders.DataBind();
dgOrders.EditItemIndex = 0;
dgOrders.DataBind();


but with this, my dgOrers_ItemCreated event doesn't get fired, for some strange reason. If I take the last two lines away, the event triggers fine.
