Change the backcolor of a specific Datagrid column ?

[Takis]

I have added programmatically some columns of a dataset in a datagrid. Although i tried to change the back color of a specific column in my datagrid this was not possible. I couldnt find any attribute or method for that purpose.

My code:

dim t As New DataGridTableStyle
Dim c As DataGridTextBoxColumn

t.MappingName = " .... "

columnnames("rccharat", "Charge Rate")
t.GridColumnStyles.Add(c)

columnnames("rctaxtot", "Amount of Charge")
t.GridColumnStyles.Add(c)

....

DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(t)


And the columnnames sub is:

Sub columnnames(ByVal truename As String, ByVal colname As String)
c = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
c.MappingName = truename
c.HeaderText = colname

c.Width = 100
c.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center
End Sub


Does anyone knows if this possible?

Thank you,

You need to derive a custom data grid column style. See

for an example.
