How can I scan a Kendo Grid and get each rows data?

Question

How can I scan a Kendo Grid and retrieve each row and its data. I am trying the following but can't seem to see the data :

var grid = $("#mygrid");
var columns = $("#mygrid").data("kendoGrid").columns;
var rows = $("#mygrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data().length;
var noOfCols = columns.length;
var allrows = $("#mygrid").data("kendoGrid").items();                        
$("#mygrid").data("kendoGrid").items().each(function (a) {
    alert(a.text());
});

I need to check the value of a column in each row and if it is not a certain value the report tot the user. Thanks

Try this:

Get Kendo Grid Selected Cell value:

var grid = $('#GridName').data("kendoGrid");
var selectedItem = grid.dataItem(grid.select());
var selectedValue = selectedItem.YourPropertyColumnName;

For selecting a row by index number use the following:

$('#GridMaster').data("kendoGrid").bind('dataBound', function (e) {
    this.element.find('tbody tr:eq(3)').addClass('k-state-selected')
    //or >>>
    var index = 3;
    this.element.find('tbody tr:eq(' + index + ')').addClass('k-state-selected')
});

Alternatively, in order to display the first row always "selected" in Kendo Grid:

$(function () {
    $('#GridMaster').data("kendoGrid").bind('dataBound', function (e) {
    this.element.find('tbody tr:first').addClass('k-state-selected')
    });
});
