Ok i thing there is something that you misunderstand here ..
The Code that you show me add a column to the DataSet, and if you bound this DataSet to the DataGrid then all the 3 columns will be considered "Bounded" to the Grid!

So you may handle the layout by using DataGridTableStyle and DataGridColumnStyle.

Oh, Great! Thanks for pulling me to the correct direction.

But I still do not see how to change the color of either that column or its column headtext or its border.

Good! now that we talk of the same thing it will be easier

First you have to know that Each DataGrid have a TableStyles collection property that can hold several Table Layout, and for each TableStyles there is a GridColumnStyles collection property that can hold all Column layout style.

The basic DataGridColomnStyle are realy "basic" they don't have many formating methode/functon. So you will have to create your own DataGridColumnStyle for a CheckBox column type it could be something like

Public Class MyDataGridBoolColumn
     Inherits DataGridBoolColumn
     ' Do stuff 
End Class

Now instend of appening a Standart DataGridBoolColumn to the GridColumnStylesCollection of the TablesStyle from the DataGrid, append a new instance of MyDataGridBoolColumn

For example in the Load Event of a Form.

Private Sub frmCamionPlanif_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim ColStyle As MyDataGridBoolColumn = New MyDataGridBoolColumn
 
    Me.dtgSiloDisponible.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles.Add(ColStyle)
End Sub

For other detail look at the first link i've post there is many info about this or at the "George Shepherd's Windows Form FAQ" form my signature

Once you'll undertand Inheritance a huge will be open be you

[Palmtree]

I bet. Maybe that is why VB.net is hot nowadays.

If this column thing won't take you too much time, would you give me some code for me to study?

Here a little article about Inheritance it might help !!
