Re: Setting the BackColor of indvidual cells in a DataGridView

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You have to do it through the DefaultCellStyle property.

DataGridViewCellStyle MakeItRed = new DataGridViewCellStyle;
MakeItRed.BackColor = Color.Red;

//make a whole column red
myGrid.Columns(1).DefaultCellStyle = MakeItRed;

//make a specific cell red
DataGridViewRow row2 = myGrid.Rows(2);
row2.Cells(2).Style = MakeItRed

Hello All,

I have been trying to figure out how to set the BackColor of
individual cells in a DataGridView. I found the following solution in
a VB usenet group


DataGridView1.Item(ColumnIndex, RowIndex).Style.BackColor = Color
DataGridView1.Item(ColumnIndex, RowIndex).Style.ForeColor = Color

or

DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = Color
DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.ForeColor = Color


I figured I could just change the () to [] and it would work in C#.
Howver, the DataGridView does not seem to have an Item property. How
can I accomplish this using C#?

Thanks,

Paul
