Hi Blasting (using a real name is considered more polite)
Here's some code that should get you going. You need to get a reference to
the button and then change the button's characteristics much the way you saw
in the C# code.
Let us know if this helps?

I am having trouble changing the font for a PushButton control in a
datagrid button column. I have seen several posts refer to styles and
simple changes to the HTML for font changes but most of those referred to a
LinkButton type of control. But in cases where someone is using the
PushButton there are no posted solutions. Whenever these changes are made
to the PushButton control they do not make any requested changes.
I have seen one board that posted the following code in C# that stated it
would fix the problem.
if(e.Item.ItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Button btn = (Button)e.Item.Cells[X].Controls[0];
btn.Font.Name = "verdana";
FontUnit.Point(8);
}
I am not sure if this type of code would go before the databind call or
after or what...
Any suggestions on how to do this with VB.Net code?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
