Datagrid Item Template question

dparsons · #1 (**permalink**) March 14th, 2007, 09:19 AM

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if this is possible, but I am going to ask anyway. I am working with a Databound datagrid and have setup

<columns>
<itemtemplate>
</itemtemplate>
</columns>

for all of the columns in my datagrid. By default I load a CSS Style that is applied to every row and every column in the grid. But now I have the need to change the style of a row if a column holds a certain value. Psuedo code is:

if column value = x
then row style = z
else
row style = default

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Blah. I hate when the answer to a question is apparent and I over look it. If you need to do conditional formatting to a datagrid, handle the ItemDataBound or ItemCreated event.

Your solution might look something like this:

Code:

        private void dg_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
            {
                DataRowView rv = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
                DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime(rv.Row.ItemArray[8]);

                if (DateTime.Compare(DateTime.Now, dt) > 0)
                {
                    for(int i=0; i < e.Item.Cells.Count; i++)
                    {
                        e.Item.Cells[i].CssClass = "lapsedText";
                    }
                }
            }

        }

Yeah

I too was surprised to see this issue raised by you, but it happens, there's a famous saying "Even Einstein asked questions" . ( I am not comparing you with Einstein) :)
