Question

How do I get rid of the blue background when data is loaded into a datagridview, the first row has a default color of blue for the background, and when you select a row, the background changes to blue. I’d like it so that there is no blue background, at all.

Answer 1

I’m assuming you’re working with the DataGridView control within a windows form application. The blue background is the default color for a selected row. You can change this color within the properties window

1. Select the datagridview
2. Within properties window, click elipses (…) next to DefaultCellStyle
3. Under Appearance, change the value of SelectionBackColor

Hope this helps.
