DataGrid cell color

I know this question has been asked before but ...

I'm using VS2003 and VB.NET with a Windows form.

I have a DataGrid control and wish to change (have control over) the
background color of the cells. The field value contains an integer of a color
value which is obviously meaningless to the user but if I change the
foreground and background colors to match the color value the user doesn't
see the number only the color.

In a previous question on the newsgroup the answer was simple - using the
format:
myDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.Backcolor = Color
However, DataGridView doesn't appear to exist in VS2003/VB.NET and DataGrid
(as far as I can see) is not exposed to the same properties.

Sorry if this means repeating an answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere
else.

Thanks in advance
