Hey Bonnie,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I looked at these and other candidate events also but none really were appropriate, usually due to firing consistency.

I just used a different methodology to accomplish my goal. I still think that technically using a "RowDataBound" event would be most efficient for this task but since it does not exist I just skin the cat another way. Nevertheless, I find it strange that there is no event of this type for Windows grids. Ya gotta love MS. :-)

I never used Grids all that much, but for bound controls other than grids, I usually relied on the Binding's Format and Parse events (which won't work for a grid, because it seems that there's no Binding object). Those two Cell events seem to be useful for that kind of functionality.

>>Ok, I gotcha. During the data binding process, whan a data row columns data are bound to the DataGridView Cells, I want to be able to do some processing on an individual Cell or Cells based on the data that is being bound. E..g if a given Cell boolean value is false, I might want to perform some operation on another Cell or Cells, like (!)ReadOnly.

There seems to be no equivalent in the Windows Forms DataGridView so I am trying to determine how I would do this. Internet searches on this topic have turned up anemic results so I am not sure if this is possible.

If this cannot be done, then that is not what I would like, but is ok. I can, and already have, come up with other ways to accomplish my task. But this would be the most efficient.
