Try This .Idea is to override paint..This is working even i worked on it.copy and change according to your requirement... public class DataGridColoredTextBoxColumn : DataGridTextBoxColumn { protected override void Paint(System.Drawing.Graphics g, System.Drawing.Rectangle bounds, System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, System.Drawing.Brush backBrush, System.Drawing.Brush foreBrush, bool alignToRight) { // the idea is to conditionally set the foreBrush and/or backbrush // depending upon some criteria on the cell value try { DataTable dtPaint; DataRow drPaint; dtPaint = ((DataView) this .DataGridTableStyle.DataGrid.DataSource).Table; drPaint = dtPaint.Rows[rowNum]; //If Amount Mismatch then highlight if (drPaint["Amount"].ToString() != drPaint["Last Amount"].ToString()) { backBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(bounds, Color.IndianRed, Color.IndianRed, LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal); foreBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White); } } catch (Exception ex) { ex.ToString(); } finally { // make sure the base class gets called to do the drawing with // the possibly changed brushes base .Paint(g, bounds, source, rowNum, backBrush, foreBrush, alignToRight); } } } Regards, Nilesh
