You have already been given a suggestion in your previous posting of this question: how to give forecolor and background color for row[^]. If you have further information then please update the original question, rather than posting the same question again.

Shoot, I haven't tried that since 2005 and my information may be out of date. If I recall correctly, you have to do that on a cell-by-cell basis. Each Cell has a Style property.

I'll also repeat that I dislike DataGridViews and I feel that they are the bane of usability, so please think before using one. For what I was writing back in 2005, I switched to a TreeView and everything was sweetness and light.

Solution 3

int thirdColumn = 2;
DataGridViewColumn col =
dataGridView.Columns[thirdColumn];
DataGridViewCell cell = new DataGridViewTextBoxCell();

cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Wheat;
col.CellTemplate = cell;
