Hello !

int RowIndex = 0;
this.dataGridView1.Rows[ RowIndex ].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red
this.dataGridView1.Rows[ RowIndex ].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.White
;

Which property of the Grid, should the code be included?

This page should answer most of your questions :

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.rowsdefaultcellstyle%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-2

The code would be called from anywhere, but I guess FormLoad would be a good place to start.
