I have a BackColor problem as follows.

Once you specify the BackColor of RowBinding and its cell bindings , they remain fixed for that level. I have 3 levels ( Level1,Level2,Level3). In the “DataBindings” tab I have specified the BackColor for each of them. Now when the Grid comes up,the Level1,Level2,Level3 rows will be colored as specified.

What I want is that even in Level1, I want to specify different color for each row. Is this possible?

Let’s say I have 10 Level1 rows. Now I want to specify a different color for each of these Level1 rows. Can this be done?
If yes please brief me how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

There are already several other threads about this. To summarize:

If there are a fixed number of different styles that you want to apply then the best way to do this is to create a separate RowBinding for each type of row and set up the styles (colors etc) in the RowBindings editor. Then you can handle the GetBinding event (or override the GetRowBinding method) to select the row binding (and hence visual style) to use based on the item properties.

An alternative is to handle the GetRowData and GetCellData events (or override the corresponding methods) and set the OddStyle and EvenStyle properties of the CellData/RowData programmatically. Note that because rows share references to styles (to conserve resources) you can't just set the BackColor of the existing style - as this will change the colors of all rows using that style. Instead you need to assign a separate style. You can create new styles on the fly in the GetRowData/GetCellData methods eg
