Hi,

i want to make the forecolor of values into a gridview red but only when
they equals 'n'.

 <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"
        DataKeyNames="hour,place" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >
       <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True"/>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="place" HeaderText="place"
ReadOnly="True" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="hour" HeaderText="hour"
ReadOnly="True" />

            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="theday">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
               <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" SelectedValue='<%#
Bind("theday") %>' runat="server">
               <asp:ListItem Text="y" Value="y"></asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Text="n" Value="n"></asp:ListItem>
               </asp:DropDownList>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
             <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("theday")
%>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

      </Columns>
</asp:GridView>


Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles
GridView1.RowDataBound

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            Dim m As String
            m = e.Row.Cells(3).Text
           If m = "n" Then
                e.Row.Cells(3).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            End If
       End If
    End Sub

The values are correctly rendered, i can update etc ... but the forecolor remains black. Is this due to the template?

I tested with this code: response.write(e.Row.Cells(3).Text) which gives nothing ...
Thanks for help

T.

e.Row.cell(3).text is null, because cell(3) is ur templete column. so u r requried to find that control in that cell, and then take the value of that ctrl and compaire. .

for lable

Lable a= (Lable) e.row.cell[3].findControl("label2");

string a=a.text;

Try this in Grid's RowDatabound

((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblName")).ForeColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#003c73");

If it is useful to u then plz Marked this as ANSWERED.

Hi
use this: 

((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblName")).ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

Thanks to all, it works now.

But why do Sunil and Chandan just repeat what you wrote? Are you payed by answers?

First you read with care then write anything,i was not repeate i write different from you write

you write e.Row.Cells(3).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red

And i wrote that is ((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblName")).ForeColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#003c73");

i think it will useful to you but i think like you no need to help.

understand....
