private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // This is for mock datasource. You dont need it ObjectSource[] _objectsource = new ObjectSource[] { new ObjectSource(1,"AAA"), new ObjectSource(2,"BBB"), new ObjectSource(3,"CCC"), new ObjectSource(4,"DDD"), new ObjectSource(5,"EEE") }; dataGridView1.DataSource = _objectsource; // This is what you want // if the cell value > 3, then the background color of cell becomes Red for (int i = 0; i { if (Convert.ToInt16(dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value) > 3) { dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Style.BackColor = Color.Red; } } } } // This is for mock datasource. You dont need it public class ObjectSource { public int ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public ObjectSource(int id, string name) { ID = id; Name = name; } }

Hi You can refer this below code for datagridview cell color. Example: DataGridView1.Item(ColumnIndex, RowIndex).Style.BackColor = Color DataGridView1.Item(ColumnIndex, RowIndex).Style.ForeColor = Color or DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = Color DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.ForeColor = Color
