Examples

The following example shows how to set alternating row background colors on the DataGrid.

<DataGrid x:Name="CustomerGrid" ItemsSource="{Binding}" AlternatingRowBackground="LightBlue" AlternationCount="2" />

The following illustration shows how this code looks when it runs.

Three alternating colors for the row background

Remarks

The AlternatingRowBackground, RowBackground, and AlternationCount properties together determine the appearance of each row's background.

If AlternationCount is less than 2, setting the AlternatingRowBackground property sets AlternationCount to 2.
