Hello I'm hoping to find an easy way to change the backcolor for an entire column in a datagridview. My program is a windows forms vb.net program. This is what I have so far but it doesn't seem to be working.

datagridview1.columns(0).defaultcellstyle.backcolor = color.blue

I greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you may offer. Thanks!

It works fine for me:

VB

Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnect)
    con.Open()
    Dim dt As New DataTable()
    Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM MyTable", con)
    da.Fill(dt)
    myDataGridView.DataSource = dt
    myDataGridView.Columns(0).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue
End Using

What am I doing that is different from you?

VB

Private Sub dgvfamily_CellLeave(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
    For i As Integer = 0 To dgvfamily.Rows.Count - 1
        'dgvfamily.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value = (i + 1).ToString();
        For j As Integer = 1 To dgvfamily.Columns.Count - 1
            If dgvfamily.Rows(i).Cells(j).Value Is Nothing Then
                'dgvfamily.ClearSelection();
                dgvfamily.Rows(i).Cells(j).Style.BackColor = Color.RoyalBlue
                dgvfamily.CurrentCell = dgvfamily.Rows(i).Cells(j)
                Return
            End If
        Next
    Next

I ma using this when datagrid cell leave blank on that time it will change the color of blank cell

Thanks
