Thread: Changing background color of datagrid row in windows forms

Hello,

We have a datagrid in windows form. We want to change the background color of row according to some condition.

Got many examples in ASP.net but there are no examples of windows forms.

Please your reply will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
sups

Moved to suitable forum Winform Grids.

You have to use Table Styles and Column Styles. See this article "Formatting the Windows Forms DataGrid Control"

Note that Datagrid is a column based control.

Here are some ways to change colors to the GridView Component.

Code:

Me.DataGridView1.RowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color
Me.DataGridView1.BackgroundColor = Color
Me.DataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color
Me.DateGrivView1.ForeColor = Color

There are many other ways and colors you can alter on the DataGridView. It's a freaking confusing component and there should be a class dedicated just to that tool I think, lol. Anyways, I figured out that much using it myself.
