dbgrid coloring

[jasperjasper]

Is there an easy way to add color to a grid column...say its based on an amount > 0 green....
I have been sent some code but its lengthy...in VB6 it was one line of code...like cell.backcolor = green

Cant i do this in VB.NET

I wanted to set the forecolor of one column (Amount) in the grid. I read each amount in a loop, and if the amount is < 0 i want the text to display red, else green.
In VB6 this was easy....

you should be able to do this on the ItemCreated command for the datagrid...
