I'm trying to set the background of the RowSelector based on the value of a property in the underlying data (row) object.

Ideally I would want to do something like this:

 

                <Style TargetType="{x:Type xcdg:RowSelector}">

                    <Style.Triggers>

                        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsInternal}" Value="True">

                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkOrange" />

                        </DataTrigger>

                    </Style.Triggers>

                </Style> 

 

where IsInternal is a property on my data object. However, it seems I can't predict the data context of a  RowSelector. Sometimes it's a Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow, other times it's not.

Please advise.

The DataContext of a RowSelector is its associated container. For all rows that represent data items, it will be Xceed.Wpf.DataGrid.DataRow. For the row selector that is associated with an InsertionRow, then the DataContext will be InsertionRow. You can check a RowSelector's RowType property to know the exact container type.
