Need to know the status of a checkbox cell in a DataGridView

Question

I have a C# Windows application that uses a DataGridView with three columns. The first is a textbox that requires no validation. The second and third columns are both checkboxes. I need help with determining if the boxes are checked or not. If they are then I would like to set the background color of the checkbox cell to red. I am using the DataGridView1_CellContentClick event for this. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, try this

void DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
  if( (bool)DataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[ e.ColumnIndex].Value )
             DataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[ e.ColumnIndex].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor  = Color.Red;
}
