   }

private void SetCellWithFocus(DataGrid myGrid)

 }
 
 private void dataGrid1_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    Console.WriteLine(dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber + 
    " " + dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber);
 }

Private Sub SetCellWithFocus(ByVal myGrid As DataGrid)
    ' Set the current cell to cell 1, row 1.
    myGrid.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(1,1)
 End Sub
 
 Private Sub DataGrid1_GotFocus(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Console.WriteLine(DataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber & " " & _
       DataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber)
 End Sub

Setting the CurrentCell property will cause the grid to scroll and show the cell if it is not already visible.
