I'm developing an interface that uses a grid to display different sets of items. I need to be able to take a column in the dataset and use it to determine the color to display that row on the grid, e.g. if colomn "color_code" = 1 then the row of the grid containing that data is displayed in red. >

Thanks for that Kevin. I'll study the examples and look at Synchfusion's third party product. BTW I'm doing this in web forms not win forms. Will that be significantly different.
