How do I change the color of a column in a GridDataBoundGrid?
The GridDataBoundGrid maintains a collection of GridBoundColumn objects that allows you to set column properties like Backcolor, TextColor, Font, etc. Either from code, or at design-time, you can explicitly add GridBoundColumns to the this.gridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns property. If you do not explicilty add GridBoundColumns to this collection, then the grid will generate an internal set of columns that you can use, this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns.
C#
//if you have added GridBoundColumns
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns["employee_name"].StyleInfo.BackColor=Color.Pink;
//if you have not explicitly added GridBoundColumns
this.gridDataBoundGrid2.Binder.InternalColumns["Col2"].StyleInfo.BackColor=Color.Pink;
VB
'if you have added GridBoundColumns
Me.gridDataBoundGrid1.GridBoundColumns("employee_name").StyleInfo.BackColor=Color.Pink
'if you have not explicitly added GridBoundColumns
Me.gridDataBoundGrid2.Binder.InternalColumns("Col2").StyleInfo.BackColor=Color.Pink
