Hello,

I used the code below to color the HeaderCell of the first column. I wonder why it did not work. I also set the ColumnHeadrDefaultStyle property at design time but amazingly it did not work neither. What should I do to get done such a simple task?

dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderCell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;

Thank you very much

Solution 1

Try any one of this for change the back color of header row

GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[0].BackColor = Color.Red;
GridView1.Columns[0].HeaderStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;

Try this for change the text color of header row

GridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[0].ForeColor = Color.Red;
GridView1.Columns[0].HeaderStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;

Thank you very much Dear Deepu,

But as I implicitly stated, I’m using "dataGridView" control not "GridView" one and "dataGridView" does not have property called "HeaderRow". Furthermore, is there any "GridView" control? I can not find it. The next line in the proposed code is the same as that of written in the question and as said before, it did not work. So unfortunately the question still left unsolved.

"Furthermore, is there any "GridView" control? I can not find it."
Try: gridView1 = new GridView(); :-)
