Where to update datagrid cells

[RudyVB68]

Hello, So I have some code to change the color of a cell on a datagridview. If e.Value.ToString.Length > 0 Then e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue e.CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White End If Where is the best place to put this, cell formatting or cell painting. Or is there a better place? Thanks! Rudy

CellFormatting event is better to handle this type of customized formatting. Have a look at this... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.cellformatting.aspx[^]

Cellformatting is where you want it. You were close. Just add another line under your code to change the color:

e.FormattingApplied = True
