How to change datagrid row color and bold font

Question

Hi I have a datagrid control In that there was few rows like below Date Scanned A Scanned B Scanned C 12/12/2013 12 13 14 Subtotal 12 13 14 07/08/2014 12 13 15 07/08/2014 12 13 15 Subtotal 24 26 30 Total 36 39 44 Here I need to highlight the sub total row. Font style = Bold and background color to differentiate from other rows. Can we achieve this using DataGrid1_ItemDataBound event. If yes please post solution using DataGrid1_ItemDataBound event. Thanks in Advance

I am working in version 2008 and datagrid control. So there is no event as RowPrePaint and doesnot contain DataGrid1.Rows property.

Write code on RowPrePaint event of dataGridview private void dataGridView1_RowPrePaint(object sender DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs e) { if (dataGridView1[Date e.RowIndex].Value.ToString() == Subtotal) { dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow; dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.Font.Bold = true; } } Use above snippet..!! mark it as accepted if it helps you..!!
