The DataGridView doesn't allow a transparent BackGroundColor by default. If the control's parent's BackGroundColor is what you are trying to achieve, you can just set your DVG's BackGroundColor to the same.

Also, search for "transparent datagridview" on Google and you'll come up with some articles. Maybe this will get you started: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...9c(vs.80).aspx

Good luck.
