How to maintain the background color while selecting the row in WinForms DataGrid?

In WinForms DataGrid (SfDataGrid), you can maintain the selection background color for a particular row by setting the SelectionStyle.BackColor in dataGrid.SelectionChanged event. This event triggers when the selection is changed from one row to another.

Kindly refer the below code snippet

sfDataGrid1.SelectionChanged += SfDataGrid1_SelectionChanged;
Color = sfDataGrid1.Style.SelectionStyle.BackColor;


private void SfDataGrid1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
   if ((e.AddedItems[0] as OrderInfo).Country == "Germany")
   {
       sfDataGrid1.Style.SelectionStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
       sfDataGrid1.Style.CurrentCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Red;
   }
   else
   {
       sfDataGrid1.Style.SelectionStyle.BackColor = Color;
       sfDataGrid1.Style.CurrentCellStyle.BackColor = Color.White;
   }
}

Take a moment to peruse the WinForms DataGrid - Selection documentation, where you can find about the clipboard operations with code examples.
