Selected Property

Overview

The Selected property allows you to get or set a flag indicating whether a row is selected. This property is primarily intended for use in the presentation layer of applications. Typical use cases include UI selection, highlighting, or interaction state in data-bound controls such as grids, lists, or tree views.

The Selected property does not affect the row’s DataRowState, change tracking, or persistence behavior. It is not considered part of the row’s data and is ignored by AcceptChanges, RejectChanges, and merge operations.
