Easy stuff. Okay, once you find a row that needs to be colored, you can do the following: MYDATAGRID.Items(ROWNUMBER).BackColor = Color.Red Where: MYDATAGRID is the name of your datagrid ROWNUMBER is the integer value of the row to change Jon G www.Gizmocoder.com

No actually it doesn't. You have to declare MyString somewhere (ie "dim myString as string = obj.item("aut_projectID").ToString()") and the function I wrote is a mess with both C# and VB code. I'm currently working in VB.NET so my head was there right then, and when I try to write this small snippets it's not actual code that will work, but more the general idea that has to be shown. Therefore MyString wasn't decalread and MyString isn't a name for a variable that I would use.

Works like a charm !! Thanks once again Datagrid Girl!

Why are you using Text.ToString? Text already returns a string. This is a waste of CPU cycles. If you're getting back a value (i.e., not null) from FindControl, then just set cast to a TextBox as you're doing and set Text to some string, like tb_keywords.Text = "Some string";.

For C#, you need the following in your InitializeComponent: this.IDOFYOURDATAGRID1.PageIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dgr_searchResultsPageIndexChanged); this.IDOFYOURDATAGRID2.PageIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dgr_searchResultsPageIndexChanged); And if you're using codebehind, you don't need OnPageIndexChanged="dgr_searchResultsPageIndexChanged" in your declaration. Hope that helps! Datagrid Girl
