How to color the corner of the datagridcell

[Smish]

hey can ne1 tell me how to color the corner of a cell in the datagridview

[kenobewan]

Sounds like a job for CSS?

@kenobewan
Well, a DataGridView is a Forms control, not a web control, so I don't think CSS will work...

It sounds like something for OwnerDraw, which can get nasty with an object that complex I would think

Ok you caught me bluffing, I was thinking of using a gridview template with CSS applied to it:
ASP.NET Gridview and CSS

[PRR]

@Smish
DataGrid.OnItemDataBound Method (System.Web.UI.WebControls)
Check this ... you could change the cell[index] color in this ...
Sample Gridview function

 protected void g1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
 
            if (e.Row.Cells[1].Text == "DDD")
            {
                e.Row.Cells[1].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
                e.Row.Cells[1].Enabled = false;
            }
 
        }
    }
 

corner ? well i guess i got it wrong here.. Moderator please delete my post as its irrelevant..

Correct me if I am wrong, but the OP talked about coloring the corner of a cell and not the whole cell. One way to do this would be to apply a background image through CSS. Perhaps we need the amount/ shape of the coloring defined to be sure.

Did we forget we are talking about a windows form control, not a web control again?
At any rate we might until the OP actually gets back to us.

@Plater
Not sure how you ascertained that it was a windows form control from OP, although InsertAlias implied it was.

Smish - please reply to your post urgently, your experts need you!

@kenobewan
The DataGridView object is a windows forms only object.
The DataGrid was in .net1.x and was used in both windows form and web application (but was a very poor object)
The GridView object is for web applications

[kenobewan]

Thanks for clearing that up. Now all you need to do is follow the advice of those who correctly assumed you were using a windows datagridview :).

But i dont want an css to be aplied it would be cumbersome..is ther any way to paint the points in the cell by specifyign a region??

[kenobewan]

And those above who agreed that CSS was not the solution were correct...
