C# – How to set the color of a selected row in DataGrid

c++datagridwpfxaml

The default background color of a selected row in DataGrid is so dark that I can't read it. Is there anyway of overriding it?

Tried this

<dg:DataGrid.RowStyle>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridRow}">
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True" >
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gainsboro" />
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</dg:DataGrid.RowStyle>

But still nothing…

Best Solution

The above solution left blue border around each cell in my case.

This is the solution that worked for me. It is very simple, just add this to your DataGrid. You can change it from a SolidColorBrush to any other brush such as linear gradient.

<DataGrid.Resources>
  <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" 
                   Color="#FF0000"/>
</DataGrid.Resources>

C# – How to cast int to enum

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);

// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for enumerations marked with an [Flags] attribute
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException($"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.")
}

Update:

From number you can also

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum) , yourInt);

WPF Datagrid Style Selected Row

Hi I tried your Style and on my Machine the ForegroundColor changed to Green... But if it doesn´t work in your DevEnvironment you could try overriding the SystemColor for the selected-row text!

add this to your style and remove the trigger

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Green" />
