I was trying to implement this example in my project and have some problems. Could you please help me by any chance? I am using the datasource and databind method to fill my gridview with data. Does it mean I can’t use your technique?

my code is:

…
dapter.Fill(ds, “projects”);
grdProjects.DataSource = ds;
grdProjects.DataBind();
grdProjects.RowDataBound += new GridViewRowEventHandler(grdProjects_RowDataBound);
con.Close();

but the grdProjects_RowDataBound is not being fired

Any idea why?

Thanks,

Bartosz

Thanks for sharing with us. I had found another nice post over the internet which was

also explained very well about GridView Decoration in ASP.Net, for

Thanks

I’m not sure where I would put that line in my code-behind or if in VB I even need it. I have the rest of the code written and it proves to be ok but I get the following error whenever I run the code. System.Data.DataRowView does not contain a property with the name ‘RfS’. “RfS” is the text that is in the cell that the code should be setting the format for.

The only consideration that I can see that might make a difference is that the DataSource for the GridView is created and assigned with a DataTable at the Page_Load of this page.

Any ideas would sure be appreciated.

Thanks again for your sample.

if (value == “some string”)
{

}

You might have to add ToString() at the end if it doesn’t work automatically: string value = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, e.Row.Cells[2].Text).ToString();
