How to find the DataGridViewCell background color in C#?

Question

How to find the DataGridViewCell background color in C# - windows application?

Answer 1

Saw this on bytes.com, and another user claims it works, though I have not tested it (this is VB):

DataGridView1.Item(ColumnIndex, RowIndex).Style.BackColor = Color

or

DataGridView1.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = Color

Also see the MSDN documentation:

Answer 2

If you need this information in order to alter the rendering of the cell, you could plug to the Paint or the Formatting event, which EventArgs has a CellStyle property with the background color inside.
