Hello, I have another question.



I am using a DataGrid on one page, and it works brilliantly... there is one

functionality I would like to include but am not sure how to go about it.



When someone sends a URL parameter to the page with the DataGrid, I want the

background color of the table row to change color for matching criteria in

the data... example:



Someone selects Position #34, and in my datagrid I have one column "Position

Number" and "Position Description".  And when someone calls the page as in

positions.aspx?Position=34 I want the table row with Position Number 34 to

have a different background color than the rest of the datagrid.



Is this a possibility using a DataGrid?  Thanks everyone for their help!

You can do it if you write an event handler for the ItemDataBound event.

Here is one where I set the background color





Private Sub dgDisplayResults_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e

As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles

dgDisplayResults.ItemDataBound



Dim bar_code As String



Dim ck As Object



Dim ckcnt As Integer



Dim i As Integer



If e.Item.ItemIndex >= 0 Then



bar_code = e.Item.Cells(2).Text



' if the barcode has been requested then change the color



If Session("checkcount") > 0 Then



ck = Session("checkarray")



For i = 0 To (Session("checkcount"))



If Trim(bar_code) = Trim(ck(i)) Then



e.Item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0)



End If



Next i



End If



End If



End Sub
