Hi,
How can I make the the first row of my Datagrid NOT selected when I initilize the grid? In other words, when I first load the form and grid, attach the datasource and then display to the user the first row is always selected and highlighted blue.
I want to keep the functionality of when a user selects a row it highlighting blue (or whatever color I set it to) but I don't want that to happen initially.
Thanks,
This KB article might help, too.

I think that you're mistaking the ActiveRow of the grid as being selected. The grid will stay in sync with the what the CurrencyManager says is the currently active row in the underlying DataSource. When you bind the grid, if you check the BindingContext's Position property, you will see that it is 0, which corresponds to the first row in the grid and will be reflected as such. You could either set the Appearance of the active row to be transparent, or when loading you could just set the SyncWithCurrencyManager property to false.
