How do I change the datagridview selected row background color in C# windows applications?

Answer 1

Taking advantage of DataGridViewCell's events CellEnter and CellLeave you might try something like this:

private void foobarDataGridView_CellEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
  DataGridViewCellStyle fooCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
  fooCellStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightYellow;
  this.VariableFinderDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.ApplyStyle(fooCellStyle);
}

private void foobarFinderDataGridView_CellLeave(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
  DataGridViewCellStyle barCellStyle = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
  barCellStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
  this.VariableFinderDataGridView.CurrentCell.Style.ApplyStyle(barCellStyle);
}
