Hi,
I am developing a silverlight solution to select my graphics object on the basemap from the Datagrid selection i.e., n selcting any row object on the datagrid the corresponding map graphics should be highlighted on the BaseMap. I following the below given code.

DataGrid dataGrid = sender as DataGrid;
            GraphicsLayer selectedMapGraphics = edmsMap.Layers["selectionGraphicsLayer"] as GraphicsLayer;
            selectedMapGraphics.ClearGraphics();

            int selectedIndex = dataGrid.SelectedIndex;
            if (selectedIndex > -1)
            {
                FindResult findResult = (FindResult)QueryDetailsDataGrid.SelectedItem;
                Graphic graphic = findResult.Feature;
                {
                    ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.SimpleFillSymbol FillSymbol;
                    FillSymbol = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.SimpleFillSymbol)(LayoutRoot.Resources["SelectSymbol"]);
                    graphic.Symbol = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.Symbol)FillSymbol;
                    selectedMapGraphics.Graphics.Insert(0, graphic);
                }
                selectedMapGraphics.Graphics.Add(graphic);
            }

But i am getting a exception in the following line of code.
FindResult findResult = (FindResult)QueryDetailsDataGrid.SelectedItem;

The error details are attached in the screen shot. Please let me know if anybody is having any solution to this particular exception to resolve this.

This bit of code worked for me: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/45335-Find-tool-(how-to-add-a-quot-zoom-to-quot-function)?highlight=find+tool+zoom. It uses the Find example: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#Find.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I have looked in the samples provided by you, but those have used same chunk of code that I am using and moreover I dont need anything like "zoom to" at this point of time. My concern is with the line of code

FindResult findResult = (FindResult)QueryDetailsDataGrid.SelectedItem;

which gives me the exception as provided in the screen shot. I need to rectify this exception to go ahead with the next line of code to get it executed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
