I'm writing a program in VB .NET 2k3, I have a datagrid bound to a database
(Access 2002).  Does anyone have info or know where I can go to change the
color of a row based on the value in one column?  I have found stuff on
alternating colors and all that good stuff but nothing that I need.  Thanks

Hi Brix,
Have a look at: http://64.78.52.104/FAQ/WinForms/default.asp
under the datagrid section.

Item 5.14 might be helpful

It'd be nice to have conditional formatting as found in Access, wouldn't
it? :) Thankfully there's another way.

You can attach a handler to the ItemDataBound event of the DataGrid
class. This event is fired once for each row in your datagrid. Check the
appropriate field, and if it matches your requirements, colour the
entire row.

---
Private Sub OnItemDataBound(Sender as Object, E as
DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
    If CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)("YourColumn") = 3 Then
       E.Item.BackColor = KnownColor.AliceBlue
    End IF
End Sub
---

Hope that helps you.
Regards,
-Adam.
