Conditional DataGridView Formatting

by

You can use the ‘CellFormatting’ event of the DataGridView. The DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs contains indexes of the row and the column of the current cell as it is being bound. I hope my code example makes some sense to you:

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    // Compare the column to the column you want to format
    if (this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "ColumnName")
    {
        //get the IChessitem you are currently binding, using the index of the current row to access the datasource
        IChessItem item = sourceList[e.RowIndex];
        //check the condition
        if (item == condition)
        {
             e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Green;
        }
    }
}
