Change look of DataGridView in C#

Yes dear its possible to change header column back color and its really very simple.

There are two ways to change the header column color:

1. Graphically in designer (through properties window)

2. Programatically (through coding)

 

1…If you want to change it from designer window, then right click the dataGridView and goto "Properties"

here, click on "ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle", a button will appear there, click on it, now in new window click backcolor and select your desired color.

after doing this, in properties window click on "EnableHeadersVisualStyles" and set it to false.

2…If you want to do it programmatically, then add these two statements where you require to change column header back color:

            dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue;
            dataGridView1.EnableHeadersVisualStyles = false;

 

you are done!
