Comparing Datagrid Columns

Will Chamberlain

I just created an application that displays data from 2 sources in a
datagrid. There are 2 repeaters nested in the datagrid (probably not the
best idea). The whole purpose of this application is to visually display
side-by-side data from these 2 sources so that the end-user can track
changes. What I am wanting to do now is to highlight, bold, etc... rows
where values are different.

Layout (currently have):
Column1(product ) / Column2 (Source A) / Column3 (Source B)

Sample data (currently):
hairgel / 29.95 / 29.95
toothbrush / 29.95 / 39.95

I'd like to have:
hairgel / 29.95 / 29.95
toothbrush / 29.95 / <strong>39.95 </strong>

The <strong /> wrapped around the 39.95 would indicate to the end-user
that there has been a change in price. What would be the easiest way to
go about comparing the values? Is there a way to get a datagrid row
count and loop through comparing column 1 and column 2's values?

If this sounds too confusing I will be more than happy to clarify.

The DataGrid allows you to make columns visible or invisible on demand - even edit and other special columns. This article will show you how it is done. Some developers have reported problems controlling the visibility of columns in the DataGrid control. The problem usually comes down to one fact.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
