How do I change the datagridview selected row background color?

by

Come on man… there has to be a simple solution, and finally got one.

dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Color.Blue;
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionForeColor = Color.Red;

This worked for me, no complex codes, no event handling. I did it before but was not able to recall so thought posting it would help others and me in future 🙂
