  Can't change Gridview row colors or styles in the DataBound event

  Aug 25, 2010 02:19 AM|LINK

  I was highlighting certain rows in my gridview using code like this in the DataBound event:

  <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">        {</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            int vendorCheck = 0;</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            //TODO make this shorter</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            if (DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "vendorId") != System.DBNull.Value)</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            {</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">                vendorCheck = System.Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "vendorId"));</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            }</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            if (vendorCheck == WebUtils.GetClientId())</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            {</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">                e.Row.CssClass = "vendorBackColor";</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">                e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">                e.Row.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">            }</div> <div style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;" id="_mcePaste">        }</div> <div></div>

          if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

          {

              if (something)

              {

                  e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;

                  e.Row.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

              }

          }

  
  

  This doesn't work anymore with the CSSFriendly adapter for Gridview.  I tried changing the style of the row, but nothing shows up in the source for the page.

  Any thoughts?

  <div>
  </div>

  I don't think the Databound event is where I'd be doing formatting. I don't recommend logic in the aspx page, either for thaat matter.

  a few articles http://softwarekeith.com/

  my advice would be to use JQuery to manage the CSS via class injection
