How to color code paired entries in a datagridview?

Question

I have a datagridview where every two rows are part of a pair and I would like to keep paired rows the same color for easier reading.

• Row 0: White Background
• Row 1: White Background
• Row 2: Light Gray Background
• Row 3: Light Gray Background
• Row 4: White Background
• Row 5: White Background
• etc.

How can I do this when adding new rows programmatically? Thanks

You need to add attributes to your datagridview tag.

this.dataGridView.RowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Black;
this.dataGridView.AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
