Hi

I am trying to change the cell back color in
CellDrawn Event using the following code.

if(e.RowIndex > 0)
{
e.Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
else
{
e.Style.BackColor = Color.BurlyWood;
}

Its not changing the color
any suggestion are appreciated

Thanks

The CellDrawn event occurs AFTER the cell is drawn. So, trying to set the backcolor there will not do anything.

Instead, use the PrepareViewStyleInfo event, and set the bckColor there using similar code.
