  The https://datatables.net/reference/api/row().select()
  does not work.
  var table = $('#myTable').DataTable();
  table.row(0).select();

  I assume you are loading the select extension as mention in the doc for row().select().

  I think row(0) will select the first row of the data as originally presented to Datatables, before sorting, etc.

  Are you expecting to select the first row displayed? Then you might try the example shown in the docs:

  Thank you for your attention. I solved in following way;

  createdRow: function (row, data, dataIndex) {
              var customerrowid = '#' + participantList[dataIndex].CustomerId + 'Cx';
              $(customerrowid).addClass('selected').attr('data-participantlist', 'true').attr('data-addeddatatable', 'true');
              $(customerrowid).find('td:nth-child(1) > input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', true);
          }

  but i want get row id of EmpID 1,4

  Use the row-selector as a function rather than a string. You know the id in the data, so you can check against that in the function.

  If you link to an example on http://live.datatables.net or JSFiddle I can take a look at it.
