[2005] Datagridview rowprepaint?

[MrNorth]

Hi!

I have an issue I cant find a solution for.

In ASP.NET it is extremly easy to change a row/cell at databind time depending on what the value is.

I was very surprised that I didnt find such similar events for the datagridview. I did find the rowprepaint event but I am not sure it is suited for the task
The info I need is

column, row and value to bind


kind regards
Henrik

Yes, you can handle the DGV.RowPrePaint event to color the row/cells conditionally. Something like this:

Private Sub DataGridView1_RowPrePaint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowPrePaint
        Dim row As DataGridViewRow = DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex)
        Dim cellValue As Object = row.Cells(0).Value
        If cellValue IsNot Nothing AndAlso cellValue.ToString.StartsWith("something") Then
            row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow
        End If
    End Sub

Is it best suited for the task? I don't know, but it works.
