hi everyone

i use linq to databind a gridview

when i select 0 from database i want to show it as string "lose" in gridview

and when selecting 1 i want to show it as string " win" in gridview

Why not simply modify your data-binding expression to do the conversion for you?

<%# Eval("MyField").ToString().Equals("0") ? "lose" : "win" %>

you are right. i dont know why i didn't use this!!!

can i use something like this to set colors too? (without connecting back to database). for example label.text="win"? "Green" : "Red" .

i had problem writing that.help plz

thank you

For that, you'd simply have to grab a reference to the current row within the GridView.RowDataBound event. Then, depending upon your value, you can change anything you want with regards to the current row or any cell or control within.

Hi ashkant,

Try this:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            Label l = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("Label1");
            e.Row.BackColor = (l.Text == "win") ? System.Drawing.Color.Green : System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
    }

Thanks,
