Hello!

This DataGridView is connected to the DataTable.
I just wonder if it's possible to set a color on a specific column.
I have a column that is autoincrement and I want this DataColumn to have a
specific color.

Hi Tony,

If you have the DataTable bound to the DataGridView at design time, you can
do this by invoking the "Edit Columns..." task on the control, selecting the
column and editing its DefaultCellStyle. The designer will let you choose a
BackColor for the column.

Alternative, you can do it in code by instantiating a new
DataGridViewCellStyle class, setting the desired BackColor property and
updating your DataGridViewColumn with the cell style.
