I have a datagrid and I would like to be able to alter the colour of row depending upon the data in the grid for example making all customers from Kent green and Hampshire yellow. How do I do this?

Thanks

Louisa

try 4guysfromrolla.com they have a good guide to the datagrid....

i think an if statement might cover it like...

If DatagridLbl1.Text = "Kent" then
 ItemStyle.BackColor = Red
ElseIf Datagridlbl1.text = "Somewhere Else" then
 ItemStyle.BackColor = Pink with dots
End If

private void usrGrid_OnItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e )
{
 if(e.Item.Cells[0].Text=="Kent")
    e.Item.BackColor=Color.Green;
if(e.Item.Cells[0].Text=="Hampshire")
    e.Item.BackColor=Color.Yellow;
}

here Cells[0] in cell having text to check, you have to change it to cell index you have for this text.
