DataGrid Cells: Detecting Value changes?

[Alex]

Hi all...

I have a DataGrid bound to a DataTable. My DataTable gets updated
programmatically as it contains the status of a number of worker threads.

Each "main" worker thread launches a number "child" threads, so displaying
the status of these in a DataGrid is ideal - one row for each "main" thread,
one column for each "child" thread.

However, some of these threads take a while to update their status, so I'd
like a way to notify the user of this change by flashing the DataGrid cell
background colour when this happens. Is there a way I can do that?

i.e. as the DataTable gets refreshed (and hence the DataGrid, as it's bound
to that), I want the cells that have been updated with new values (and only
those) to change background colour for a second or two, then go back to
white again.

Thanks!
Alex

how about the DataTable.RowChanging/RowChanged events?
