Datagrid - Formatting based on values

Hi All,

I wish to change the background colour and contents of a datagrid cell based
on the value of one of the columns on a per row basis. So, for example, if
column A's value is 1, column 2 should be red with 'No' written in it. If
column A's value is 0, column 2 should be green with 'Yes' written in it.

Can anyone advise how I could achieve this? (I know how to display/populate
the datagrid).

Thanks,
Simon.

Simon,

Most flexible way is to use ItemDataBound event. Event handler gets
reference to an item which represents the grid row. You have access to the
item cells (row columns) and can get/set cells properties programmaticall y.

I have a datagrid that will display different datasets, (it runs different sprocs based on a value in the querystring) but it will always return 6 columns.

Suppose you want to do either of these: A) Set display properties (e.g. color or boldness of text) of a cell based on a value of another cell in the same row. B) Set the display properties of a whole row based on values of one or more cells in that row. Well, these seem like reasonable things to want to do. If one was writing one's own code to spit out HTML table tr and td tags like in days of old (like, say, 6 years
