Hi All,
Please see my code

C#

private void DrawingList_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowIndex >= 0 && e.ColumnIndex >= 0)
            {
                if (DrawingList.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Selected == true)
                {
                    e.Paint(e.CellBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.All & ~DataGridViewPaintParts.Border);
                    using (Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 1))
                    {
                        System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = e.CellBounds;
                        rect.Width -= 2;
                        rect.Height -= 2;
                        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p, rect);
                    }
                    e.Handled = true;
                }
            }
        }

I used this to highlight the selected cell in a Datagridview(Name is Drawinglist).But Now I want to highlight the entire Row (Please note that my selection mode is single cell).How can I do that...Is that is possible??
Thanks,
Manu

Why dont you do that by writing it in ResourceDictionary instead of this event

HI all I solved that but please feel free to add any answer better than this.
this is my codes.

private void DrawingList_CellPainting(object sender, DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowIndex >= 0 && e.ColumnIndex >= 0)
            {
                if (DrawingList.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].Selected == true)
                {
                    e.Paint(e.CellBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.All & ~DataGridViewPaintParts.Border);
                    using (Pen p = new Pen(Color.Blue, 1))
                    {
                        System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = e.CellBounds;
                        rect.Width -= 2;
                        rect.Height -= 2;
                        e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p, rect);
                    }
                    e.Handled = true;
                }

                if (DrawingList.SelectedCells.Count>0)
                {
                    if (e.RowIndex == DrawingList.SelectedCells[0].RowIndex)
                    {
                        e.Paint(e.CellBounds, DataGridViewPaintParts.All & ~DataGridViewPaintParts.Border);
                        using (Pen p = new Pen(Color.Blue, 1))
                        {
                            System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = e.CellBounds;
                            rect.Height -= 2;
                            e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p, rect);
                        }
                        e.Handled = true;
                    }
                }

                
            }
        }

and

C#

private void DrawingList_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (DrawingList.SelectedCells.Count > 0)
    {
       DrawingList.Invalidate();
    }
}

Happy coding!!
