hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply.
please find the attached image, you will notes that the selected row's back Color of the gird is the same as non selected Row i want to make the  selected row's back Color to be different than the non selected Row.
here is the code of the form

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<Data> data = new List<Data>();
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name1", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name1", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name1", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            radGridView1.DataSource = data;

        }

        private void radGridView1_ViewRowFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RowFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            GridDataRowElement row = e.RowElement as GridDataRowElement;
            if (row != null)
            {
                row.DrawFill = true;
                row.BackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
                row.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
            }
        }
    }
    public class Data
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public double Salary { get; set; }

    }
}

Thanks.

Hello,

This may be something like what you are looking for. Please let me know if this help or if you need further information

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.radGridView1.RowFormatting += new RowFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_RowFormatting);
            this.radGridView1.SelectionMode = GridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
        }

        void radGridView1_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            GridDataRowElement row = e.RowElement as GridDataRowElement;
            if (row != null)
            {
                row.DrawFill = true;
                if (row.IsCurrent)
                {
                    row.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
                    row.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
                }
                else
                {
                    row.BackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
                    row.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
                }

            }
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name1", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name1", Salary = 1000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name2", Salary = 5000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name3", Salary = 3000 });
            data.Add(new Data() { name = "name4", Salary = 1000 });
            radGridView1.DataSource = data;

        }

    }
    public class Data
    {
        public string name { get; set; }
        public double Salary { get; set; }

    }
}

Note, I have used the RowFormatting event, not the ViewRowFormatting event as the ViewRowFormatting event fires for all rows, and this is not needed in this case.

it works only on single row select but when i select multiple rows it makes the selected row's Back Color same as  the non selected
i don't want to make only the current Row to be different but all the selected Rows

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

In this case, just change IsCurrent for IsSelected

if (row.IsSelected)
{
    row.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    row.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
}
else
{
    row.BackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
    row.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
}

Hope that helps
Richard
