DataGridview specific cell back color

[flashkid10]

I have a DadtaGridview that hold the name of events happening every day of the week (7 columens), and each of them has a different status which corresponds to a color. how do i set a specific backcolor or border of a specific cell?

I don't think i understand, i'm doing what it says and it is instead applying the backcolor to the entire datagrid

The event is called one time for each cell in grid "every time each cell is painted". You decide based on ColumnIndex/RowIndex and/or cell value which BackColor to apply to each cell.
