  Colouring items in a DropDownList

  Nov 17, 2012 09:06 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I need some C# which says:

  int maxRed = 35;

  <pseudo code>

  create 101 items for DDL1 (0 to 100);

  colour 0 - maxRed in Red (DDL1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;)

  colour maxRed+1 - 100 in Green;

  DataBind?;

  < end pseudo code>

   

  Possible?

  int maxRed = 35;
              for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
              {
                  ListItem newitem = new ListItem();
                  newitem.Value = i.ToString();
                  newitem.Text = "Item No. " + i.ToString();
                  DDL1.Items.Add(newitem);
              }
              foreach (ListItem item in DDL1.Items)
              {
                  if (Convert.ToInt16(item.Value) < (maxRed + 1))
                  {
                      item.Attributes.Add("style", "color: Red;");
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      item.Attributes.Add("style", "color: Green;");
                  }
              }

  Kulrom,

  That code just worked.

  Thank you for taking the time to code the whole thing for me.
