Showing Multiline string in a DataGridView Cell

Filed under: .NET, C#;

Hi,

Recently I need to show multi-line string in a datagridview cell. To achieve that we need to write code in CellFormatting event of DataGridview. Following is the code

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Value.Equals("Error"))
            {
                e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
                e.CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White;

            }
            else
            {
                if ((!e.Value.Equals("OK")) && e.ColumnIndex==2)
                {
                    e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.Green;
                    e.CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White;
                    e.CellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True;
                    dataGridView1.Columns[2].AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells;
                    dataGridView1.AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCells;

                }

            }
        }

I hope this help!
