How do I programmatically change the selected cell font color of datagridview

dataGridView1.RowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;

On RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) event use code

e.Row.Cells[9].BackColor =System.Drawing.Color.Orange;

and For Font color

e.Row.Cells[9].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

We can change the font color of perticular cell text in grid view using the rowdatabound event..

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

{

if (e.Row.Cells[1].Text == "ECE")

{

// change the color

e.Row.Cells[1].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

}

}

}
