conditional change of a datagridviews cell background color and text

Question

This is for a winform vb.net 2008 app. I'm bringing data back from a database and based on some static conditions... i want to change the color of the background and the text. There is no rowdatabound event in winform...

hope someone can provide some guidance thanks shannon

Answer 1

I got it working... in the RowPostPaint event.. If I put in

if (my criteria here)
    Me.dgTableInfo.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("ColumnName").Style.BackColor = Color.Red
end if

Answer 2

Don't forget to set the selectoinBackColor too... otherwise if your red row changes, but you have it highlighted, it will look just like all the rest anyway.
