How to keep colors when copy-pasting from datagridview to excel?

Question

I use the following CellFormatting code to conditionally color rows in my datagridview.

private void SGridView_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCel

I believe that DataGridView by default stores in the clipboard only tab delimited data without formatting

But you can write your custom Copy with Formatting function using the method, described in

http://www.tcx.be/blog/2005/copy-html-to-clipboard/

Just in case if you will want to ask a question how to handle copy event to write some custom code and put formatted HTML to clipboard, I would suggest using PreviewKeyDown event and write something like

if (e.KeyData.ToString() == "C, Control") {  your formatting code goes here  
}
