The DataGridViewBand class represents DataGridViewCell elements joined together in a band that can be manipulated as a group. Each element is typically an instance of DataGridViewCell or one of its derived classes. Although a DataGridViewHeaderCell is associated with each band, header cells are not considered elements of the band.
DataGridViewBand is the base class of the DataGridViewRow and DataGridViewColumn classes. There are no public constructors for the DataGridViewBand type, so the only way to access a band is through columns and rows in a DataGridView.
The following code example uses a DataGridViewBand to manipulate properties of groups of cells in a DataGridView.
