How to change cell text colour of dynamically populated gridview from database in C#

Mansi Arora

I have populated a dynamic grid view from database with Cell text as ON and OFF. I want that off text should appear in "Red" Colour. Grid rows are generated as no.of employees and columns are days in a particular month from database.

Using RowDataBound is frequently the best way. Here's a quick example that changes the row color based on the status of a CheckBoxField.

  Protected Sub GridView1\_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
	If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
		Dim cb As CheckBox = CType(e.Row.Cells(1).Controls(0), CheckBox)
		If (cb.Checked = False) Then
			e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightYellow
			e.Row.Cells(0).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
		Else
			e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
			cb.Enabled = True
		End If
	End If
End Sub

protected void gvEmpCal_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { CheckBox ckh = e.Row.Cells[0].Controls.Add(0); if (ckh.Checked = false) { e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightYellow; e.Row.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; } } } Actually I need that gridview cells that contains "off" should appear in red colour. Presently On and Off are in same colour.

Ok, I got the problem. I think you have not understand the code I have posted. Do one thing. Replace your

CheckBox ckh = e.Row.Cells[0].Controls.Add(0);

with this one

CheckBox ckh = e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];
