public System.Drawing.Color AlternatingBackColor { get; set; }
member this.AlternatingBackColor : System.Drawing.Color with get, set
Public Property AlternatingBackColor As Color

Property Value

A Color that represents the alternating background color. The default is the system color for windows (Window).

Examples

The following code example sets the AlternatingBackColor to a Color value.

Private Sub ChangeAltBackClr(ByVal myGrid As DataGrid, _
    ByVal myColor As Color)
    myGrid.AlternatingBackColor = myColor
