   If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
       Me.detail.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PaleGreen
   Else
       Me.detail.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
   End If 
   i += 1
   

   int i = 0;
   

   if (i % 2 == 0) {
     this.detail.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PaleGreen;
   } else {
     this.detail.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
   }
   i++;
