regd Datagrid

[karteek]

Hi, I want to color a column in a datagrid . How do I do this? Karteek

[Heath Stewart]

I told you how the last time you asked this: by extending the DataGridColumnStyle with your own class nad overriding the necessary properties and methods. You must then define your DataGridTableStyles and DataGridColumnStyles explicitly. See DataGrid.TableStyles in the .NET Framework SDK documentation for more information.

Hi, I do not know the number of coulmns in the table or name of the columns. I am dynamically reading the table data from the database. In that case how can I set the mappingname,column name etc... Is there a way to get these while reading data from database. KArteek

DataSetObject.Tables[0].Columns gives you the collection of the columns, you can set mapping name to any string value (like someName+ i // i is the column number). I think u need to solve the problem logically (I guess, not sure)
