i want to check empty cells in datagrid view when button clicked and change its color but i find this error..

Line 7: you pass i1 to the Rows collection, i1 is the column counter.
Perfect example of giving sensible names to your counter variables. If you named i1, "col" or something you would not have made that mistake.
Hope I helped you out!
