WPF Datagrid: SelectionChanged event isn't raised when SelectionUnit="Cell"

Question

I'm using the WPF toolkit datagrid. I have it set to SelectionUnit="Cell" and SelectionMode="Extended".

The SelectionChanged event is never raised!

It works fine when the SelectionUnit is set to FullRow.

Am I Missing something?

BTW, the reason I need it is since I'm trying to create an Attached Property to help me bind the SelectedCells to my ViewModel.

Make use of DataGrid.SelectedCellsChanged which should provide you with what you need.

private void DG1_SelectedCellsChanged(object sender, SelectedCellsChangedEventArgs e)
{
    //Get the newly selected cells
    IList<DataGridCellInfo> selectedcells = e.AddedCells;

    //Get the value of each newly selected cell
    foreach (DataGridCellInfo di in selectedcells)
    {
        //Cast the DataGridCellInfo.Item to the source object type
        //In this case the ItemsSource is a DataTable and individual items are DataRows
        DataRowView dvr = (DataRowView)di.Item;

        //Clear values for all newly selected cells
        AdventureWorksLT2008DataSet.CustomerRow cr = (AdventureWorksLT2008DataSet.CustomerRow)dvr.Row;
        cr.BeginEdit();
        cr.SetField(di.Column.DisplayIndex, "");
        cr.EndEdit();

    }
}
