Changing a WPF Datagrid Row background color programmatically

I'm facing issues when trying to change a DataGrid row in the code behind of a WPF app. My objective is to change the row color when the row is selected and when a button Valider is clicked. My code is shown below. I found some answers but none of them where useful for my case.

 private void Valider_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        DataGridRow dataGridRow = InventaireItemGrid.SelectedItem as DataGridRow;

         dataGridRow.Background = Brushes.Green;
      }

When I execute, I get a NullReferenceException. The debugger point to the dataGridRow to be null (the row contains data though).

The SelectedItem property refers to the corresponding object in the Items collection. You could use the ItemContainerGenerator to get a reference to the DataGridRow container:

private void Valider_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridRow dataGridRow = InventaireItemGrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(InventaireItemGrid.SelectedItem) as DataGridRow;
    if (dataGridRow != null)
        dataGridRow.Background = Brushes.Green;
}

There are most probably better ways of doing whatever you are trying to do though, for example using data binding and triggers.
