hi

I have a problem with the template field color, where the background color shold be black or white, depented of the value is 900 or else.

 Anybody who can tell me how to do this in asp.net 2.0 with sqldatasource

I tried this code with no succes

Compiler Error Message: CS0119: 'System.Drawing.ColorTranslator' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context

Source Error:

Line 186:                            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="CaseNo" SortExpression="CaseNo">
Line 187:                                
Line 188:                            <ItemTemplate><asp:Label ID="Mylabel" runat= "server" Text='<%# Eval("CaseNo") %>' BackColor='<%# (Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("CaseNo").ToString().Equals("900")?System.Drawing.ColorTranslator("#000000"):System.Drawing.ColorTranslator("#FFFFFF"))) %> '/></ItemTemplate>                                    
Line 189:                            <ItemStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#FF3300"></ItemStyle>
Line 190:    

use this

<ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Mylabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("CaseNo") %>' BackColor='<%# (Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("CaseNo").ToString().Equals("900"))?System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#000000"):System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFFFFF")) %> ' /></ItemTemplate>

I would rather advise you to do this in the Row databound event. In the row databound event get the reference of the label and set the value

My suggestion, create a protected function and call it in backcolor property, that will be more simple way to solve it
