Hot to change specific column header color only in datagridview?

c#, c#-2.0, datagridview, visual-studio-2005, winforms

Solution

First in your DataGridView you need to set EnableHeadersVisualStyles to false. After you've done that you can set the individual header style on each column.

        DataGridViewColumn dataGridViewColumn = dataGridView1.Columns[0];
        dataGridViewColumn.HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Magenta;
        dataGridViewColumn.HeaderCell.Style.ForeColor = Color.Yellow;

Problem

Uses: VS 2005, C#, DataGridView, WinForms; I need to color the font/background of a particular column's Header portion. I see that it can only be done to the entire column list's header instead of a single column. Any help greatly appreciated.
