How to: Set Alternating Row Styles for the Windows Forms DataGridView Control

Tabular data is often presented to users in a ledger-like format where alternating rows have different background colors. This format makes it easier for users to tell which cells are in each row, especially with wide tables that have many columns.

With the DataGridView control, you can specify complete style information for alternating rows. This enables you use style characteristics like foreground color and font, in addition to background color, to differentiate alternating rows.

To set alternating row styles programmatically

  • Set the properties of the DataGridViewCellStyle objects returned by the RowsDefaultCellStyle and AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle properties of the DataGridView.

    With Me.dataGridView1
        .RowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Bisque
        .AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Beige
    End With
    
    this.dataGridView1.RowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Bisque;
    this.dataGridView1.AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor =
        Color.Beige;
    
    NoteNote

    The styles specified using the RowsDefaultCellStyle and AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle properties override the styles specified on the column and DataGridView level, but are overridden by the styles set on the individual row and cell level. For more information, see Cell Styles in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

Robust Programming

For maximum scalability, you should share DataGridViewCellStyle objects across multiple rows, columns, or cells that use the same styles, rather than setting the style properties for each element separately.
