Re: Format single Row in datagridview using a value in same row

This might help. You shouldnt have to check if its null because if its not equal to Fair or Poor it wont matter. Also, as long as you have a column within the dataview named RepVisits and you know it will be there ever single time, you dont need the try/catch.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
private void checkForSurveyColour(DataGridView dv) {
  foreach (DataRow dr in dv.Rows) {
    if(dr.Cells["RepVisits "].ToString().Equals("Fair") || dr.Cells["RepVisits "].ToString().Equals("Poor") {
      dr.Cells["RepVisits"].Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
}
private void checkForSurveyColour(DataGridView dv) {
  foreach (DataRow dr in dv.Rows) {
    if(dr.Cells["RepVisits "].ToString().Equals("Fair") || dr.Cells["RepVisits "].ToString().Equals("Poor") {
      dr.Cells["RepVisits"].Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
}

That is much more compact and I believe it should work the same way. The syntax might not be exactly how it should be but if you use visual studio and use the CTL + SPACE shortcuts after puting a period, it helps a lot in finding the proper method/properties you need.

Hope it helped.
