I have a datagridview made up of multiple rows and columns.
I want to iterate through each row and check the contents of a specific column.
If that column contains the word "NO", I want to change the forecolor of the entire row to Red.
Here is an attempt at some code so far but It's certainly not working, starting to wonder If I need to iterate over every cell?
CODE:
foreach (DataGridViewRow dgvr in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
if (dgvr.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString() == ("No"))
{
dgvr.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
}
hook up OnRowDataBound event then do stuff
ASPX (Grid):
<asp:.... OnRowDataBound="RowDataBound"..../>
Code Behind:
protected void RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowIndex == -1)
{
return;
}
if(e.Row.Cells[YOUR_COLUMN_INDEX].Text=="NO"){
e.Row.BackColor=Color.Red;
}
}
FOR WinForms:
hook the **DataBindingComplete** event and do stuff in it:
private void dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender,
DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ListChangedType != ListChangedType.ItemDeleted)
{
DataGridViewCellStyle red = dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.Clone();
red.BackColor=Color.Red;
foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
if (r.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString()
.ToUpper().Contains("NO"))
{
r.DefaultCellStyle = red;
}
}
}
}
On your DataGridView, handle the CellFormatting event:
dataGridView1.CellFormatting += new DataGridViewCellFormattingEventHandler(dataGridView1_CellFormatting);
Your event handler could then look like this:
private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
if(dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "FollowedUp" && e.Value != null && e.Value.ToString() == "No")
dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
In this way you aren't 'iterating' over the rows -- simply changing the color with which they are painted/drawn when they become visible (and thus require formatting) in the grid.
public void ColourChange()
{
DataGridViewCellStyle RedCellStyle = null;
RedCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
RedCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;
DataGridViewCellStyle GreenCellStyle = null;
GreenCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
GreenCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Green;
foreach (DataGridViewRow dgvr in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
if (dgvr.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString().Contains("No"))
{
dgvr.DefaultCellStyle = RedCellStyle;
}
if (dgvr.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString().Contains("Yes"))
{
dgvr.DefaultCellStyle = GreenCellStyle;
}
}
}
Is it possible there are spaces or some other character as part of the cell value? If so try using the Contains method rather than straight equality.
if (dgvr.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString().Contains("No"))
This is the solution for Winforms:
private void HighlightRows()
{
DataGridViewCellStyle GreenStyle = null;
if (this.dgridv.DataSource != null)
{
RedCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
RedCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
for (Int32 i = 0; i < this.dgridv.Rows.Count; i++)
{
if (((DataTable)this.dgridv.DataSource).Rows[i]["col_name"].ToString().ToUpper() == "NO")
{
this.dgridv.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle = RedCellStyle;
continue;
}
}
}
}
This code works fine for me:
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
if ((string)row.Cells["property_name"].Value == UNKNOWN_PROPERTY_NAME)
{
row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightSalmon;
row.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Color.Salmon;
}
}
Other than casting as a string rather than calling ToString I dont really see any difference so it could be a case sensitivity bug. Try using:
dgvr.Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString().ToUpper() == "NO"
private void Grd_Cust_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
colorCode == 4 ? Color.Yellow : Color.Brown;
if (e.RowIndex < 0 || Grd_Cust.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["FollowedUp"].Value == DBNull.Value)
return;
string colorCode = Grd_Cust.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["FollowedUp"].Value.ToString();
e.CellStyle.BackColor = colorCode == "NO" ? Color.Red : Grd_Cust.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor;
}
