GridDataView

I'm using the GridDataView. As rows are added, I want to color each row based on the value of a specific column.  I know how to do the coloring of the row.  What event will fire as rows are added?

I tried RowsAdded, it fires, but only for the first two rows that are added.
ah, DataBindingComplete work.  thanks!
Thanks!
Here is one method:

Form1.vb -
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Public Class Form1
	Private Sub OnLoad(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
		DataGridView1.DataSource = (From i In Enumerable.Range(0, 25)
							   Select New With {.ID = i, .Name = String.Format("Name{0}", i), .BirthDate = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-(9 * i)), .Age = DateTime.Now.Year - .BirthDate.Year, .IsWorking = i Mod 2 = 0}).ConvertToDataTable()
	End Sub

	Private Sub OnRowsAdded(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewRowsAddedEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowsAdded
		If TypeOf sender Is DataGridView Then
			Dim grid = DirectCast(sender, DataGridView)
			If grid.Rows.Count > 0 Then
				For Each row As DataGridViewRow In grid.Rows
					Try
						row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = If(row.Cells("Age").Value And 1, Color.Yellow, Color.Aqua)
					Finally
					End Try
				Next
			End If
		End If
	End Sub
End Class

Module Extensions
	<Extension()> _
	Public Function ConvertToDataTable(Of T)(ByVal source As IEnumerable(Of T)) As DataTable
		Dim properties As PropertyDescriptorCollection = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(GetType(T))
		Dim table As DataTable = New DataTable()

		For i As Integer = 0 To properties.Count - 1
			Dim [property] As PropertyDescriptor = properties(i)
			If [property].PropertyType.IsGenericType AndAlso [property].PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(GetType(Nullable)) Then
				table.Columns.Add([property].Name, [property].PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()(0))
			Else
				table.Columns.Add([property].Name, [property].PropertyType)
			End If
		Next

		Dim values(properties.Count - 1) As Object
		For Each item As T In source
			For i As Integer = 0 To properties.Count - 1
				values(i) = properties(i).GetValue(item)
			Next
			table.Rows.Add(values)
		Next

		Return table
	End Function
End Module
