Datagirdview and tabcontrol issue

Question

I am experiencing a strange behavior in my winforms .net 4 application. I have a form with a tabcontrol having two tabpages, user selects data on tabpage1 and clicks GO butt

Answer 1

Instead of doing:

grdDistProcessing.Rows[0].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.BurlyWood;
grdDistProcessing.Rows[0].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Black;

Use the CellFormatting event (Display category) for grdDistProcessing, like this:

private void grdDistProcessing_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
   e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.BurlyWood;
   e.CellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Black;

}

It should render faster too.
