c# highlight certain rows

[AaronW]

I am trying to do conditional formatting of rows in a datagrid and can not get DataGridItemEve ntArgs as an option. Is there something wrong with the assembly?

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collecti ons;
using System.Collecti ons.Specialized ;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Text.Reg ularExpressions ;
using System.Threadin g;
using System.Windows. Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Timers;

That is not much to go on.
Are you sure you're not looking at descriptions for DataGridView and not DataGrid?

I am trying to loop through the datagrid and once I find a cell with certain information I would like to highlight the entire row.
--------------------------------------------------------------
private void BindUsers()
{
Domain = cboDomain.Selec tedValue.ToStri ng();
OU = cboOU.SelectedV alue.ToString() ;
SiteCode = cboSite.Selecte dValue.ToString ();

DataSet ds = dsVendors(Domai n, OU, SiteCode);
DataTable dt = ds.Tables["Vendors"];
dgMain.DataSour ce = dt;
dgMain.Alternat ingBackColor = Color.LightStee lBlue;

// set the number of users
intNumUsers = dt.Rows.Count;

// finally compute our randomization
ComputeRandomMe trics();
}
--------------------------------------------------------------

I tried the following with the dataset but recieved sereval errors and figured I would be better off looping through the grid once the data is loaded.

private void DataGridView1_C ellFormatting(o bject sender, System.Windows. Forms.DataGridV iewCellFormatti ngEventArgs e)
{
DataRowView drv;
if (e.RowIndex >= 0) {
if (e.RowIndex <= ds.Tables("Vend ors").Rows.Coun t - 1) {
drv = ds.Tables("Vend ors").DefaultVi ew.Item(e.RowIn dex);
Color c;
if (drv.Item("loca tion").ToString == "ACTION REQUIRED") {
c = Color.Red;
}
else {
c = Color.Black;
}
e.CellStyle.Bac kColor = c;
}
}
}

by higlight do you mean "select" or change the visible colors of?

[AaronW]

I would prefer to change the background color if possible.

[Plater]

Can't you set that on DataGridViewRow object?

[AaronW]

Got it with:

private void AddCellFormatti ngColumnStyles( DataGrid grid, FormatCellEvent Handler handler)
{
DataGridTableSt yle ts = new DataGridTableSt yle();
DataTable dt = (DataTable) grid.DataSource ;
ts.MappingName = dt.TableName;

for(int j = 0; j < dt.Columns.Coun t; ++j)
{
DataGridFormatt ableTextBoxColu mn cs = new DataGridFormatt ableTextBoxColu mn(j);
cs.MappingName = dt.Columns[j].ColumnName;
cs.HeaderText = dt.Columns[j].ColumnName;
cs.SetCellForma t += handler;
ts.GridColumnSt yles.Add(cs);
}

//grid.TableStyle s.Clear();
grid.TableStyle s.Add(ts);

}

private void FormatGridCells (object sender, DataGridFormatC ellEventArgs e)
{
CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManage r)this.BindingC ontext[this.dgMain.Dat aSource];

object cellValue = this.dgMain[e.Row, 4];
if (cellValue.ToSt ring() == "ACTION REQUIRED")
{
e.BackBrush = Brushes.Red;
}
}
