Iterating Rows

You can iterate through grid rows using the Rows collection of GridViewRowInfo objects. The example below selects the last row, then iterates looking for selected rows. When the selected row is found, the GridViewRowInfo.EnsureVisible() method scrolls the row into the view:

GridViewRowInfo lastRow1 = radGridView1.Rows[radGridView1.Rows.Count - 1];
lastRow1.IsSelected = true;
foreach (GridViewRowInfo rowInfo in radGridView1.Rows)
{
    if (rowInfo.IsSelected)
    {
        rowInfo.EnsureVisible();
    }
}

Dim lastRow As GridViewRowInfo = RadGridView1.Rows(RadGridView1.Rows.Count - 1)
lastRow.IsSelected = True
For Each rowInfo As GridViewRowInfo In RadGridView1.Rows
    If rowInfo.IsSelected Then
        rowInfo.EnsureVisible()
    End If
Next

Finding a grid row by a value of one of its cells

You could search for a specific value in RadGridView by iterating through the rows and compare cells value. In the example below, you search for searchedStr in MyColumnName column:

string searchedStr = "Picture 2";
for (int r = 0; r < radGridView1.RowCount; r++)
{
    if (radGridView1.Rows[r].Cells["Picture Name"].Value.ToString().ToUpper().Equals(searchedStr.ToUpper()))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Found a match");
        //do something 
    }
}

Dim searchedStr As String = "Picture 2"
For row As Integer = 0 To RadGridView1.RowCount - 1
    If RadGridView1.Rows(row).Cells("Picture Name").Value.ToString().ToUpper().Equals(searchedStr.ToUpper()) Then
        'do something 
        MessageBox.Show("Found a match")
    End If
Next

Iterating all rows in a self-reference hierarchy

When you have a hierarchical grid with many templates you can use a recursive method to iterate trough all rows:

public void IterateAllRows(IEnumerable<GridViewRowInfo> rowsCollection)
{
    foreach (GridViewDataRowInfo row in rowsCollection)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(row.Cells[0].Value);//This rows is used for demonstration only!
        if (row.HasChildRows())
        {
            IterateAllRows(row.ChildRows);
        }
    }
}

Public Sub IterateAllRows(rowsCollection As IEnumerable(Of GridViewRowInfo))
    For Each row As GridViewDataRowInfo In rowsCollection
        Debug.WriteLine(row.Cells(0).Value)
        If row.HasChildRows() Then
            IterateAllRows(row.ChildRows)
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Iterating hierarchical grid.

You can iterate through grid rows using the Rows collection of RadGridView objects. The example below cycles through the rows of the grid, modifies the values for certain cells in the different hierarchy levels and counts the rows and cells in the whole RadGridView.

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int count = 0;
    int i = 0;
    foreach (GridViewDataRowInfo dataRow in this.GetAllRows(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate))
    {
        count++;
        foreach (GridViewCellInfo cell in dataRow.Cells)
        {
            if (cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "CompanyName" || cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "ShipCountry")
            {
                cell.Value = "TEST";
            }
            if (cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "UnitPrice")
            {
                cell.Value = 1.11111;
            }
            i++;
        }
    }
}
public List<GridViewRowInfo> GetAllRows(GridViewTemplate template)
{
    List<GridViewRowInfo> allRows = new List<GridViewRowInfo>();
    allRows.AddRange(template.Rows);
    foreach (GridViewTemplate childTemplate in template.Templates)
    {
        List<GridViewRowInfo> childRows = this.GetAllRows(childTemplate);
        allRows.AddRange(childRows);
    }
    return allRows;
}

Private Sub radButton1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim count As Integer = 0
    Dim i As Integer = 0
    For Each dataRow As GridViewDataRowInfo In Me.GetAllRows(Me.RadGridView1.MasterTemplate)
        count += 1
        For Each cell As GridViewCellInfo In dataRow.Cells
            If cell.ColumnInfo.Name = "CompanyName" OrElse cell.ColumnInfo.Name = "ShipCountry" Then
                cell.Value = "TEST"
            End If
            If cell.ColumnInfo.Name = "UnitPrice" Then
                cell.Value = 1.11111
            End If
            i += 1
        Next
    Next
End Sub
Public Function GetAllRows(template As GridViewTemplate) As List(Of GridViewRowInfo)
    Dim allRows As New List(Of GridViewRowInfo)()
    allRows.AddRange(template.Rows)
    For Each childTemplate As GridViewTemplate In template.Templates
        Dim childRows As List(Of GridViewRowInfo) = Me.GetAllRows(childTemplate)
        allRows.AddRange(childRows)
    Next
    Return allRows
End Function
