The UltraDropDown is not a standalone control, it only works as a dropdown in a grid cell. So if you are using the UltraDropDown, you probably want to trap the CellChange event of the grid, not the RowSelected event of the dropdown.

For a standalone dropdown control, you would use UltraCombo. In which case, you probably want to use the ValueChanged event and examine the Value property of the control, rather than RowSelected, because RowSelected will not fire if the user changes the value by typing into the control.

if you are talking about ultraDropDown control : (WinDropDown ? )

private void ultraDropDown1_RowSelected(object sender,
Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.RowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
UltraGridRow selected = e.Row;
string sel = Convert.ToString(selected.Cells["COLUMNX"].Value);
}
