1. Where to put the header/banner/caption text for a Datagridview? I want to
label the DGV "my 2nd DGV"

2. How do I set alternate row background color? I want light gray and
yellow-green alternately.

Thanks

Bill

urDatagrid. CaptionText = "my 2nd DGV"

urDatagrid.AlternatingBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray
urDatagrid.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.YellowGreen

Hope it helps.

Hello;

I'm talking about DatagridView, not Datagrid. Those properties not found in
DatagridView.

Thanks for your help anyway :-)

Scott;

I can't even see the title bar of the DGV! Your syntax only change the name
at runtime, I think.

Thanks
Bill
