Introduction
ScrollIntoView is a method available in DataGrid in Silverlight 3. This method provides the functionality to bring into view (display) a particular row or column in the DataGrid.
In this article we will see how we can use it.
Creating Silverlight Project
Fire up Blend 3 and create a Silverlight Application. Name it as ScrollIntoViewDataGridInSL3.
This is what we are going to do for our sample application: we will populate a DataGrid with sample data and search an item from the DataGrid. Go ahead and design with it in Expression Blend 3.
If you look into Object and Timeline Pane you will find the following hierarchy: 
Add a class named Users.cs to define the properties of the sample data: 
Add the following properties: {codecitation class="brush: csharp; gutter: true;" width="700px"}
public class Users
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public string Gender { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
{/codecitation} Now in MainPage.xaml.cs create sample data and assign the ItemSource as the List: {codecitation class="brush: csharp; gutter: true;" width="700px"}
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
List myList = new List
{
new Users{ Name="Hiro Nakamura", Gender="M", Age=24, Country="Japan"},
new Users{ Name="Mohinder Suresh",Gender="M", Age=26, Country="India"},
new Users{ Name="Claire Bennette", Gender="F",Age=19, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Matt Parkman", Gender="M",Age=30, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Nathan Patrelli", Gender="M",Age=30, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Peter Patrelli", Gender="M",Age=26, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Mica", Age=12, Gender="M",Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Linderman", Gender="M",Age=56, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Ando", Age=24, Gender="M",Country="Japan"},
new Users{ Name="Maya", Age=24, Gender="M",Country="Mexico"},
new Users{ Name="Niki Sanders", Gender="F",Age=26, Country="USA"},
new Users{ Name="Angela Patrelli", Gender="F",Age=26, Country="USA"},
};
MyDataGrid.ItemsSource = myList;
}
{/codecitation} Now if you run your application you will get the DataGrid with sample data populated:
