The RowPrePaint event occurs before a row is painted on a DataGridView control. RowPrePaint enables you to manually adjust the appearance of the row before any of the cells in the row are painted. This is useful if you want to customize the row, such as to produce a row where the content of one column spans multiple columns. Use the properties in DataGridViewRowPrePaintEventArgs to get the settings of the row without directly accessing the row in the DataGridView.
The following code example demonstrates how to handle the RowPrePaint event to draw a custom background for selected cells. This code example is part of a larger example provided in How to: Customize the Appearance of Rows in the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
