Yes I did that to no avail...

what I had to do was

1. Cycle through cells and change border

2.Cycle through rows and change border

code is below...

 For Each gridRow In grdWork.Rows
                'DR = CType(gridRow.DataBoundItem, System.Data.DataRowView).Row
                DR = CType(gridRow.ListObject, System.Data.DataRowView).Row
                'gridRow.DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Me._presenter.GetItemColor(DR)
                gridRow.CellAppearance.ForeColor = Me._presenter.GetItemColor(DR)
                gridRow.Appearance.BorderColor = Color.Black
                gridRow.Appearance.BorderColor2 = Color.Black
            Next

Hi Nikolas,

Alternatively, you can also change the Grid lines color by using RowAppearance and CellApperance objects off the override. For example you can do this:

this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.RowAppearance.BorderColor = Color.Red;
this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.CellAppearance.BorderColor = Color.Red;

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Nikolas,

Setting these properties on the override should change the Grid lines color. If the Grid lines color remains the same then something in your application must be changing the BorderColor of cells or rows.

To identify what’s causing this behavior, Please verify the following:

• If you are loading any isl file and if it is overriding the settings you apply in code. 
• Whether you are setting these properties somewhere else after you set them here.
• If you are loading a layout, which is overwriting the existing settings.
