Datagrid ItemDatabound event ??

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

What is the way to check the value of a particular item in a particular cell
and then set its forground property in red in case of a certain value ??

I have done the following but do dot work :

============================
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Item

If IsNumeric(e.Item.Cells(e.Item.ItemIndex).Text) Then
If CInt(e.Item.Cells(e.Item.ItemIndex).Text) = 945370550
Then
e.Item.BackColor = Color.Red
e.Item.ForeColor = Color.White

End If
End If
End Select

what dis I miss ?

thnaks for your help
regards
serge

Serge,

Your first step should be to remove your check for is numeric and that the
text is equal to 945370550 to see if every cell is then colored. That will
let you know if the problem is that the cell isn't being colored or if one
of your checks is not written correctly.

e.Item.ItemIndex is the index of the item in the datagrid's Items
collection. It has nothing to do with Cells collection. To get to a cell,
you need to specify it's column number, 0-based. For example,
e.Item.Cells(3) points to the 4th cell in the row.
