   To write code in C#

   C#	Copy Code
   private void c1TrueDBGrid1_FetchRowStyle(object sender, C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.FetchRowStyleEventArgs e) { string S = c1TrueDBGrid1.Columns("Country").CellText(e.Row).ToString; if (S != "Germany") { e.CellStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LemonChiffon; } }
