DataGridView - problem with custom coloring

I need to be able to custom color background of cells.

When I do

DataGridViewCel l.Style.BackCol or = Color.Yellow;

It works properly as with any other enumerated color.

When I try to do something like:

DataGridViewCel l.Style.BackCol or =
Color.FromArgb( Convert.ToInt32 ("68FDFA", 16));

It makes it like transparent and then it's all messed up. Hard to
explain, but it doesn't work. It get's impring of underlying window.

Anybody had this problem before? How do I create custom colors by
knowing HEX color value?
In VB6 I used FarPoint grid and did something like:

..BackColor = Val("&h" & "68FDFA")

Basically, it was taking long value...

What is the problem here? I'm all confused..

Hi, I'm using the DataGridView in VB.NET 2.0. The DataSource is a Generic List of a custom class0: lstMyPersonnes = New List(Of clsPersonne). When I add a new clsPersonne to lstMyPersonnes, and rebind the lstMyPersonnes to my DataGridView.dataSource, it shows the new record in the DataGridView as it should be. But when I click on a cell of that row, I suddenly got this error: "Index -1

VS2005 and I have a DataTable displayed in a DataGridView that needs custom sorting, with the DataSource of the grid set to the DataTable and the SortCompare event just won't fire. Then I found this in the docs "This event occurs only when the DataSource property is not set and the VirtualMode property value is false" This seems really odd but may be true. I can't see what the purpose of this event is then, how else will one use the...

When I bind my custom collection to a DataGridView and started editing, it works correctly only up to the...

I have been trying to figure out how to use DataSets, BindingSources, DataGridViews, and XML together, but it is a challenge. I understand how to populate a DataGridView with XML basically as: DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ds.ReadXml(@"\usr\tmp\sample.xml"); dataGridView.DataSource = ds; dataGridView.DataMember = "targetElement"; What I found through experimentation is that the DataMember may specify

Hello: I am binding a DataGridView with a BindingList<T>, where T is a custom business object that implements INotifyPropertyChanged. When you bind a DataGridView to a DataTable, it has this cool little feature - it will not call DataTable.Rows.Add until after you leave the DataGridView row. This is cool because it lets your user edit the record as much as needed to get it into a valid state before actually adding it to the DataTable.

I'm trying to make a datagridview column to act like a datetimepicker column (C#.Net 2005). These are the behaviours that the dgv should have: 1) Initially all the cells of the dtp column should be blank unless they are filled by the user. 2) As soon as the user enters a cell, the dtp control should appear as the editing control of that cell. If there's a value in the cell beforehand, that value is set as the value of the dtp editing control...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
