Would you please tell US what the error is? Are you getting an error message or it is just not working the way you want? We are not debuggers, you will need to provide more detail than "what's the error".

oh im sorry,
                   actually its not working has its intended...

You are only setting the first cell background color:

e.Item.Cells(0).BackColor = Color.Chocolate

Try setting the item's style as a whole. Maybe like this:

e.Item.BackColor = Color.Chocolate

no,there is no change..i get the same output(without colour change)
