Change Font Color of a Column in a DataGridView Control (C# winforms)

Question

I have a DataGridView control with two columns. The default color of the text is black. Is it possible to set the fore color of the entire second row to gray?(or any other color)..

    COLUMN1 | COLUMN2
    -----------------
     black  | gray
     black  | gray
     black  | gray

Please help.. thanks.

Answer 1

Your subject and question are confusing, one refers to the column and one to the rows but anyway.

grid.Columns[1].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Gray;

should handle the column color.

grid.Rows[1].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Gray;

should handle the row color.

Answer 2

dgv.Rows[1].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Gray;

or Columns[1], if that's what you meant.
