How to extract DataGridCell from DataGridCellinfo class in wpf

Question

I want to know how to get the DataGridCell from DataGridCellInfo. Actually i have a some selected cells in datagrid, and SelectedCells property return DataGridCellInfo's collection, but i want to change the background of those cells at runtime too. so i need the datagrid cell.

kindly suggest me how to do so and also how to change the datagrid cell background color dynamically(through code) also.

Thanks

Thanks, but actually i am developing a custom control, so i need a more generic approach for this — manav inder, Nov 08 '11 at 10:29

@user3690202 not really. The problem with this question is that what is asked in the title is different from what is asked in the question itself. The marked answer does answer the question manav inder really had. – Steffen Winkler Jul 17 '15 at 08:50

If the cell is not in view, we need to use `Datagrid.ScrollIntoView`. – nan Jan 29 '16 at 07:24

To change the color of the cell dynamically this is the simplest way

cell.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

and to get the datagrid cell, follow this link
