Oh dear, how to say this without muddling it up. I always took it that Darcy would overlook her rejection of him, because of her declaration to him. And of course, because of where she got her information. I don't think Darcy thought ill of her because she rejected him. Elizabeth rejected the person she thought he was and accepted the person he really was.

At the Netherfield Ball scene when Darcy and Elizabeth part there is a part where it explains how his anger towards her turned to the appropriate person. I don't have the book in front of me so I can't quote. I don't think he was ever angry at her, just surprised.
