datagrid access in C#

Question

I am new to c# and Database linking that's why not able to get this by searching old posts of stackoverflow

Code like

private void issueDetails()
    {
        string connectionPath = @"Data Source=Data\libraryData.dat;Version=3;New=False;Compress=True";

        using (SQLiteConnection connection = new SQLiteConnection(connectionPath))
        {
            SQLiteCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
            connection.Open();
            string query = "SELECT bookno as 'Book No.',studentId as 'Student ID',  title as 'Title', author as 'Author', description as 'Description', issuedDate as 'Issued Date', dueDate as 'Due Date' FROM issuedBooks";
            command.CommandText = query;
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();

            SQLiteDataAdapter da = new SQLiteDataAdapter(command);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds, "issuedBooks");
            dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["issuedBooks"];
            dataGridView1.Sort(dataGridView1.Columns["Student ID"], ListSortDirection.Ascending);
            dataGridView1.ReadOnly = true;
            connection.Close();
        }
    }

i used like above for getting some library book details like issuedDate and dueDate, now i want highlight a particular cell that is over dueDate .

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
    {
        Color c = Color.Black;
        if (e.ColumnIndex == 6)
        {
            if (isLate(Convert.ToString(e.Value)))
            {
                c = Color.Red;
                count++;
                Console.WriteLine(count);
            }

        }
        e.CellStyle.ForeColor = c;
    }

    public string toInd(string date)
    {
        DateTimeFormatInfo fmt = new CultureInfo("fr-fr").DateTimeFormat;
        string dateString;
        DateTimeOffset offsetDate, dateig;
        string ret = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
        dateString = date;
        bool ws = DateTimeOffset.TryParse(dateString, fmt, DateTimeStyles.None, out dateig);
        if (ws)
        {
            offsetDate = DateTimeOffset.Parse(dateString, fmt);
            ret = offsetDate.Date.ToShortDateString();
            return ret;
        }
        return ret;
    }

    private bool isLate(string nowS)
    {

        DateTime dueDate = Convert.ToDateTime(toInd(nowS));
        DateTime now;
        string present = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
        now = Convert.ToDateTime(present);
        //Console.WriteLine(toInd(nowS));
        int a = dueDate.CompareTo(now);
        if (a >= 0)
            return false;
        else return true;
    }

but if use if (isLate(Convert.ToString(e.Value))) { c = Color.Red; count++; Console.WriteLine(count); } this for number of books over due, the 'count' value increases 4 time even only two books are over due in my database because this if block access 2 times while data binding and again two time when it sorts how can i get only number over due books value

Answer

private void UpdateDataGridViewColor()
    {
        if (calledMethod == 2)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.RowCount; i++)
            {
                int j = 6;
                DataGridViewCellStyle CellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
                CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;

                if (isLate(dataGridView1[j, i].Value.ToString()))
                {
                    dataGridView1[j, i].Style = CellStyle;
                }
            }
        }
    }

Answer 2

Actually dataGridView1_CellFormatting is fired on every single cell event, including if you sort, or even if you you hover the mouse over a cell.. very expensive in terms of performance.

Instead you could use the RowsAdded event on the dgv which will be fired one time only upon addition:

    private void dataGridView1_RowsAdded(object sender, DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (isLate(dataGridView1[6, e.RowIndex].Value.ToString()))
        {
            dataGridView1[0, e.RowIndex].Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;
            count++;
        }
    }
