// Determine the foreground color.
if ((e.State & DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) ==
    DataGridViewElementStates.Selected)
{
    forebrush = new SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.SelectionForeColor);
}
else
{
    forebrush = new SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.ForeColor);
}

' Determine the foreground color.
If (e.State And DataGridViewElementStates.Selected) = _
    DataGridViewElementStates.Selected Then

    forebrush = New SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.SelectionForeColor)
Else
    forebrush = New SolidBrush(e.InheritedRowStyle.ForeColor)
End If
