Customise cell background

[Russell]

I'm trying to customise the cell background, and none of the SyncFusion examples work. The idea is to modify the Style, but I don't know which TargetType to use. The documentation refers to GridCell, but I get an InvalidOperationException saying that "'GridCell' TargetType does not match type of element 'GridCell'". Other documentation says to target VirtualizingCellsControl, but the compiler says that it doesn't have a Background property. So what should I use as the TargetType? Or is there another way to change the cell background?

I've attached a project which demonstrates this issue.

Hi Russell,

We have checked the reported issue with the provided details. This issue occurs because of ambiguity in the GridCell and it can be resolved by adding a separate namespace for the DataGrid as shown below,

xmlns:grid="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Grid;assembly=Syncfusion.SfGrid.WPF"

<grid:SfDataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">

    <grid:SfDataGrid.Columns>

        <grid:GridCheckBoxColumn MappingName="Selected" AllowEditing="True">

            <grid:GridCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

                <Style TargetType="grid:GridCell">

                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>

                </Style>

            </grid:GridCheckBoxColumn.CellStyle>

        </grid:GridCheckBoxColumn>

        <grid:GridTextColumn MappingName="Name">

            <grid:GridTextColumn.CellStyle>

                <Style TargetType="grid:GridCell">

                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>

                </Style>

            </grid:GridTextColumn.CellStyle>

        </grid:GridTextColumn>

    </grid:SfDataGrid.Columns>

</grid:SfDataGrid>

Here, we have attached the modified sample with the above suggestion, please have a look at this.
