Set datagrid view background to transparent

Question

I tried to set the background color of a data grid view to be \"transparent\" from properties but it it said \"not a valid property\".

How can I do it?

You need to set all the rows and columns to transparent. Easier way is:

for (int y = 0; y < gridName.Rows[x].Cells.Count; y++)
{
     yourGridName.Rows[x].Cells[y].Style.BackColor =
     System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
}
