I dont know, im not using Colum or table styles, just DataSource. I Want color a element on a cell. I have a DataTable with some columns, and call this table in DataSource.

1.To do this you first have to create class derived from DataGridTextBoxColumn or DataGridColumnStyle. You then have to override the Paint() method of these classes. Implement the Paint Method as below

protected  override void Paint(Graphics g, Rectangle bounds, CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, Brush backBrush, Brush foreBrush, bool alignToRight)
{	
	string val = (string) GetColumnValueAtRow(source, rowNum);	
	if(val == "T")		
		foreBrush = Brushes.Green;	
	else if (val == "F")		
		foreBrush = Brushes.Red;	

	base.Paint (g, bounds, source, rowNum, backBrush, foreBrush, alignToRight);
}

2. You will have to use DataGridColumnStyle to achieve the functionality. 3. Read the article, I had given you in my previuos reply. also download and run the sample project of the article. This will help you a lot. Regards, Jay.

You're need to. It's not hard - just see the DataGrid.TableStyles property in the .NET Framework SDK documentation. If you don't, you can't. The other reply is correct in what you must do.
