  How to format cells in DataGrid?

  Aug 20, 2008 05:19 PM|LINK

  I have a DataGrid Control (VB.NET, ASP 1.1) that reads from Access Database.

  One of it's columns called "Status" and each cell gets a string value: "opened" or "closed".

  How to make all "opened" cells display bold?

  The ASP.NET grid is a composite control so you can iterate within the existing controls and change the style control by control.

  Another approach it to format each cell on databinding using a column template that can be applied to a column using the ItemTemplate property.

  How to make all "opened" cells display bold?

  
  

  
  

  Try this sample snippet below

  Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs)
      If (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item) OrElse (e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem) Then
          If e.Item.Cells(0).Text = "opened" Then
              e.Item.Cells(0).Font.Bold = True  'just changed the index of cells based on your requirements
              'or this below
              e.Item.Cells(0).Attributes.Add("style", "font-weight:bold")
          Else
                  'Do something here
          End If
      End If
  End Sub

  if ((e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Header) && (e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Footer))   {        if( e.Item.Cells[4].Text = "opened")        {            e.Item.Cells[4].Font.Bold = true;        } 

     }}
