  databound checkboxlist - alternating row color

  Mar 28, 2011 03:53 PM|LINK

  Is there any way to alternate the color of rows in a databound checkboxlist??? I have googled this for quite some time and am unable to come up with anything helpful....

  I have three checkboxlists and I want to alternate the row color in each checkboxlist with white and grey. Suggestions?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

  You can add background color attribute for the ListItem

  <asp:CheckBoxList runat="server" ID="CheckBoxList1" 
      onprerender="CheckBoxList1_PreRender">
  </asp:CheckBoxList>

  protected void CheckBoxList1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      for (int i = 0; i < CheckBoxList1.Items.Count; i++)
      {
          if (i % 2 != 0)
          {
              CheckBoxList1.Items[i].Attributes.Add("style", "background-Color:Gray");
          }
          else
              CheckBoxList1.Items[i].Attributes.Add("style", "background-Color:White");
      }
  }

  That code works! :)  EXCEPT, one more thing - how do I get the color to extend the full length of the row, not just the length of the text in that particular row?

  Hi,

  You can only change the color of CheckBoxList in the place of itself. The whole row you mean I guess it is not the part of CheckBoxList, so you cannot change it with setting anything in CheckBoxList. You can use CheckBox in a Repeater or DataList, then bind it and set the style to the Item in Repeater or DataList as a workaround.

  Thanks,
