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...

Plater

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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
 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.

Plater

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

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 :).
