Getting whole row value if checkbox is checked in datagrid C#

Question

I'm trying to write a code for getting 3 values from textboxes if some of checkboxes in same row is checked. Anyone know an easy(or hard) way to do this?

My datagrid looks like this:

I have Load button that finds a file of specific type(XML.config) somewhere in file system, after that I'm calling a method that gets some strings from that file, find substrings of them and put them in 3 separated lists. Those values are in datagrid as Type, MapTo and Name. I accomplish this by putting all 3 lists in one ObservableCollection and after that I'm sending that ObservalableCollection to datagrid like this:

ObservableCollection<Tuple<string, string, string>> _obsCollection = new   ObservableCollection<Tuple<string, string, string>>();
public ObservableCollection<Tuple<string, string, string>> MyObsCollection
{
    get { return _obsCollection; }
}
tabela.ItemsSource = _obsCollection;

This is XAML code that shows binding:

<DataGrid Grid.Column="0" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="206" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,265,0,0" Name="tabela" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="556" SelectionChanged="tabela_SelectionChanged" Grid.RowSpan="2" ItemsSource="Binding MyObsCollection">
            <DataGrid.Columns>

                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Type" Width="122" Binding="{Binding Item1}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="MapTo" Width="122" Binding="{Binding Item2}"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name" Width="121" Binding="{Binding Item3}"/>

                <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Controller">
                    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding DataGridChecked}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                </DataGridTemplateColumn>

                <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Service">
                    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding DataGridChecked}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                </DataGridTemplateColumn>

                <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Injection">
                    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding DataGridChecked}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                </DataGridTemplateColumn>

            </DataGrid.Columns>

        </DataGrid>

What I'm practically trying to is to accomplish looping thou all 3 columns containing checkboxes to see which of them are selected and if any of 3 in same row is selected then I need to send all 3 string values from that row to some variable. Anyone can help me with this. For instance I don't know how to get isSelected property from checkbox in data grid. I was doing a lot of researching and all that I was able to find was examples for DataGridView, and almost nothing for DataGrid.

Instead of using Tuple create your own class, say RowData with all the properties you want to show as columns:

public class RowData: INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    //implement INotifyPropertyChanged

    public string Type { get; set; }
    public string MapTo { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public bool Controller { get; set; }
    public bool Service { get; set; }
    public bool Injection { get; set; }
}

change ObservableCollection to use your type

public ObservableCollection<RowData> MyObsCollection { get { .... } }

and set AutoGenerateColumns="True" on DataGrid

<DataGrid 
   Grid.Column="0" 
   Grid.RowSpan="2" 
   AutoGenerateColumns="True" 
   Height="206" 
   Width="556" 
   HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
   Margin="12,265,0,0" 
   Name="tabela" 
   VerticalAlignment="Top" 
   SelectionChanged="tabela_SelectionChanged" 
   ItemsSource="{Binding MyObsCollection}"/>

and then to get items where any of 3 CheckBoxes is selected you do:

var selectedList = MyObsCollection.Where(n => n.Controller || n.Service || n.Injection).ToList();
