i have a datagridview in my project, i wish to strike a particular data if one of the cell in the data reads "Void" but when i did with the code i used all data in the datagridview was strike meaning accepting the first argument to all data despite some of the data in the said cells reads "Active"

What I have tried:

For Each r As DataGridViewRow In frmCheckOut_Room.DataGridView2.Rows
                        If (r.Cells(9).Value) = "Void" Then
                            r.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red
                            r.DefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8, FontStyle.Strikeout)
                        ElseIf (r.Cells(9).Value) = "Active" Then
                            r.DefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8)
                            r.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Orange
                        End If
                    Next

Set the styles for the cell, rather than the default cell style:

VB.NET

For Each r As DataGridViewRow In frmCheckOut_Room.DataGridView2.Rows
    Dim cell As DataGridViewCell = r.Cells(9)
    If cell.Value = "Void" Then
        cell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Red
        cell.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8, FontStyle.Strikeout)
    ElseIf cell.Value = "Active" Then
        cell.Style.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8)
        cell.Style.BackColor = Color.Orange
    End If
Next

NB: Since the style refers to disposable objects, it would probably be a good idea to store the styles in fields and reuse the same style instance.
