Question : datagridview VS2008, bold a row

How do I bold a row in a datagridview?

I couldn't find a way to do it, so I decided to try to bold columns. This code returns "object not sent to an instance of the object"

if (BoldIt)
{
//TODO: 20091119 figure out how to bold
DataGridViewRow dr17 = this.dgvMain.CurrentRow;
int dr17I = dr17.Index;
this.dgvMain[0, dr17I].Style.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(this.dgvMain[0, dr17I].Style.Font.FontFamily,
this.dgvMain[0, dr17I].Style.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold);
//dR.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(dR.Font.FontFamily, dR.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold);
}

Just replace the code you have in your if-statement with the code in the following code snippet and you should be fine. There are probably other ways to do this, but this was the first I found, for now.

Hope it helps,

             // 'vw' is the name of your DataGridView
DataGridViewRow row = vw.CurrentRow;
DataGridViewCellStyle style = new DataGridViewCellStyle(row.InheritedStyle);
style.Font = new Font((style.Font ?? vw.Font), FontStyle.Bold);
 
foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
{ cell.Style = style; }
vw.InvalidateRow(row.Index);
