hi from germany,
i've tried out to setup a gridview (asp.net 2.0) with mouseover/out and i only found the examples with itemdatabound! but itemdatabound for gridview is no longer available in asp.net 2.0!

here is a solution which woks fine...

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

If Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Footer _
   And Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header _
   And Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Pager Then
   e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='#E48484';this.style.color='#FFFFFF';")
End If

If Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Footer _
   And Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Header _
   And Not e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.Pager Then
   If e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Normal Then
      e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';this.style.color='';")
   ElseIf e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Alternate Then
      e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='#F5F5F5';this.style.color='';")
   End If
End If

End Sub

There are no "Items" in the ASP.NET 2.0 GridView, the concept of item has been renamed "Row".  So e.Item becomes e.Row, and ItemDataBound goes to RowDataBound.

Hope that helps.

Hi datagridgirl,

you're right.

the reason for my posting was that i was not able to find a quick solution in the web.
after a long time of "try and error" (i'm new to asp.net 2.0) i created this solution...

greetings from germany

waffel

Thanks, thanks and thanks to both of you...

This solved my issue.

En este GridView tengo diferentes colores para los renglones los cuales asigno segun el estatus (campo de una tabla de una
base de datos) a la vez agrego el atributo onmouseover para que al pasar el mouse cambie el color a todos los renglones,
y el atributo onmouseout para que me deje los distintos colores que tenian los renglones antes de pasar el mouse sobre ellos:
   
Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.backgroundColor='Brown'; this.style.color='White'; this.style.cursor='pointer';")
            Select Case DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "estatus")
                Case "1"
                    e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.FromName("#ffff99")
                    e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
                    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='#ffff99'; this.style.color='#333333';")
                Case "2"
                    e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.FromName("#f4de41")
                    e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
                    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='#f4de41'; this.style.color='Black';")
                Case "3"
                    e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Gold
                    e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
                    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "this.style.backgroundColor='Gold'; this.style.color='Black';")
                Case "4"
                    e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.FromName("#f8b84d")
                    e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Black
                End Select
        End If
End Sub

 Saludos

This all works fine, but i have found using CSS works better. You can use a class to assign a style for the row, and then use :hover to assign the class for that row when it is hovered over. For example:

TR { background-color: white; }
TR:hover { background-color: gray; }

The only catch to this is IE6 does not recognise the "hover" attribute for links only. To get around this, i've loaded a fix to my style sheets like the one in the following link. Works great and renders cleaner HTML.

 Waffel,

This was quite helpful. It has helped me with a question that I have, but now don't have to post. Thank you for your post.
