This example creates a custom grid control with the CustomDrawGridLine event that allows you to paint grid lines:
private void myGridView1_CustomDrawGridLine(object sender, CustomDrawLineEventArgs e) {
if(e.CellInfo != null)
e.Appearance.BackColor = e.CellInfo.RowHandle % 2 == 0 ? Color.BlueViolet : Color.DarkOrange;
else {
e.Cache.FillRectangle(Brushes.CadetBlue, e.Bounds);
e.Handled = true;
}
}
