I want to change all the colours of text in rows in a column depending on the column name in C#. How would I accomplish this?

So far I've tried the following:

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { if (this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "DatePaid") { e.CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue; } }

The program builds - but it doesn't work at all

If you want to change particular colum forecolor then use this,

dataGridView1.Columns["DatePaid"].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

You could use a switch:

 switch (dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name) { case "DatePaid": dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue; break; case "Something": dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red; break; }
