Alternating colors in dynamic datagrid

[rodmul]

How is it possible to alternate row colors in a dynamically created datagrid. Please help:rose::rose::rose::rose::rose::rose: A ding is a gind to a _W_H_A_T_ if a dong is a dang to a gand? -- modified at 8:46 Thursday 22nd December, 2005

You cannot specify the color for the alternating items using the AlternatingItemStyle property at runtime since you can only sepcify it at design time. To programmatically change the color of an item, you simply create an event handler for the ItemCreated event and change the color of the alternating item. The sample code looks like this:

private void DataGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
e.Item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}
else if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
e.Item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
}
}
