Setting background color or image to individual cells in a data Grid view?

[Benny_Lava]

Hi, I have a cellMouseClick event on my dataGridView. When I click a mouse on a individual cell, based od cell index I must set a background color or an image on a individual cell? I know that this is possible on an entire column. But on a individual cell? Thank you!

You do it int he datagridview_CellFormatting event.

private sub dgv1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)

if days = 5
then
e.CellStyle.Font = new Font(e.CellStyle.Font.Name, e.CellStyle.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold)
e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Orange
end if
end sub

Hope this helps
