[vb.net] Change the row color in DataGridView based on the quantity of a cell value

This might be helpful

  1. Use the "RowPostPaint" event
  2. The name of the column is NOT the "Header" of the column. You have to go to the properties for the DataGridView => then select the column => then look for the "Name" property

I converted this from C# ('From: http://www.dotnetpools.com/Article/ArticleDetiail/?articleId=74)

    Private Sub dgv_EmployeeTraining_RowPostPaint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs) 
    Handles dgv_EmployeeTraining.RowPostPaint

    If e.RowIndex < Me.dgv_EmployeeTraining.RowCount - 1 Then
        Dim dgvRow As DataGridViewRow = Me.dgv_EmployeeTraining.Rows(e.RowIndex)

    '<== This is the header Name
        'If CInt(dgvRow.Cells("EmployeeStatus_Training_e26").Value) <> 2 Then  


    '<== But this is the name assigned to it in the properties of the control
        If CInt(dgvRow.Cells("DataGridViewTextBoxColumn15").Value.ToString) <> 2 Then   

            dgvRow.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(236, 236, 255)

        Else
            dgvRow.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightPink

        End If

    End If

End Sub
