Datagrid - Formatting based on values

[Simon Harris]

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 programmatically.
