I have a VB.NET application running on a HHP handheld (Windows Mobile 2003). I would like the backcolor of the rows of the grid to appear as a particular color depending on their value.
For example:
If Cell = 1, then Backcolor = Red.
If Cell = 2, then Backcolor = Blue.
From reading other posts i understand I have to inherit the dataGridColumnStyle and override the paint method. I have no idea how to do this. Could someone provide a few lines of code to demonstrate
At the moment all I have is this, which only colours the selected cell.
Private Sub grdResults_CurrentCellChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grdResults.CurrentCellChanged Dim currentCell As DataGridCellcurrentCell = grdResults.CurrentCell
If CStr(grdResults(currentCell.RowNumber, 0)) = "1" ThengrdResults.SelectionBackColor = Color.Red
ElseIf CStr(grdResults(currentCell.RowNumber, 0)) = "2" ThengrdResults.SelectionBackColor = Color.Blue
ElseIf CStr(grdResults(currentCell.RowNumber, 0)) = "3" ThengrdResults.SelectionBackColor = Color.Green
End If End Sub

I cannot open the installed program.
My current version of VS 2003 is 7.1.6030.
It also lists Microsoft .NET framework 1.1 as 1.1.4322. I do have Net framework 2.0 in my list of installed programs in Control Panel.

You can only do that by overriding cell painting which is supported from NETCF V2 SP1:

You need VS 2005 SE or above to develop for NETCF V2, VS 2003 is not an option.
If you have to stay with VS 2003 (or NETCF V1), look into 3rd party grid-like controls instead.
