Please see the code below, in Visual Studio 2003 under the Events in Properties I'm using an event called "ItemCreated" to alternate the colors of a row when the mouse moves over it. As you can onmouseover the row is yellow, onmouseuot the row is white. Here is the code.

private void dgProjects_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='yellow';this.style.cu rsor='hand'");
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='white';");
}
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='yellow';this.style.cu rsor='hand'");
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='whitesmoke';");
}
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.SelectedItem)
{
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='yellow';this.style.cu rsor='hand'");
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='white';");
}
}

The question is want are the events in Visual Studio 2005?

This is .NET code for an event you want to perform on the client side of a web control. So it's not going to do anything, even if there were an event for it.

You need to write javascript that hooks into the HTML table row onMouseOver event. I usually achieve this by writing the following into the OnDataItemBound event of the datagrid (in .NET 1.1):

e.Item.Attributes("onmouseover") = "rowHover(this);";
e.Item.Attributes("onmouseout") = "rowLeave(this);";

Then the javascript methods 'rowHover(row)' and 'rowLeave(row)' handle the details of the changes, whether they are just CSS class changes (better technique for style application) or literal style setting assignments.

Now, I don't know what the events are for the new 2.0 equivalent of the datagrid is. But they should be easy enough to find in the IDE.
