[2005] - Colouring Rows In DataGridView

[nolim8ts]

Hi All,

Looking at the code from this Thread, when looping through the values, the http request can sometimes cause a "operation time out" when the connection is down / running really really slow. How would I mark the rows where the data failed to scrape?

Set the DefaultCellStyle.BackColor property of the row.

Hey jm,

I tried the following combinations but it is not working as expected...

DataGridView2.Rows(I).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Crimson

- The row will flash red then return to transparent

DataGridView2.CurrentRow.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Crimson

- Returns and error message... Object not referenced to instance

The error message on the second code snippet would indicate that there is no current row, hence the CurrentRow property is Nothing.

As for the first one, you must be changing the BackColor elsewhere as if you see the row flash red then that specific code is obviously working.
