How to scroll DataGrid programmatically in .NET CE?

It is easy to scroll the DataGrid in full .NET Framework:

GridVScrolled(this, new ScrollEventArgs(ScrollEventType.LargeIncrement, rowNum));

– or even easier, just use DataGridView and DataGridView.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex() property.

However, in .NET Compact Edition there is no DataGridView – and no GridVScrolled. So there is no easy method to scroll a certain row to the view – but that is exactly what I needed: if the DataGrid is resized, selected row must remain to be visible.

So I ended up using System.Reflection to scroll my grid – or to be more exact, I derived my own class from DataGrid and added a method ScrollToRow():

using System.Reflection;

...

class BaseGrid : DataGrid {

/// <summary>

/// Scrolls datagrid to the row.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="rowNum">The row num.</param>

public void ScrollToRow(int rowNum)

{

  FieldInfo fi = this.GetType().GetField("m_sbVert", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.GetField | BindingFlags.Instance);

  ((VScrollBar)fi.GetValue(this)).Value = rowNum;

}

}

And then simply call baseGrid.ScrolToRow(baseGrid.CurrentRowIndex);
