I've tried multiple ways of setting the background-color of a DropDownList,
but none seem to work.
How can the color be set?
I've tried setting the BackGroundColor of the DrowDownList component, and
also setting it for each of the List Items.
The resulting .html code looks correct. Why doesn't the color display?
Code
DropDownListWorkLocation.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.PowderBlue;
DropDownListWorkLocation.ControlStyle.BackColor =
System.Drawing.Color.PowderBlue;
DropDownListWorkLocation.Attributes.CssStyle.Add(" background-repeat",
"repeat-y");
DropDownListWorkLocation.Attributes.CssStyle.Add(" background-color",
"powderblue");
DropDownListWorkLocation.Items[0].Attributes.Add("style",
"color:powderblue");
for (int i = 0; i < DropDownListWorkLocation.Items.Count; i++)
{
DropDownListWorkLocation.Items[i].Attributes.Add("style",
"background-color:powderblue; ");
}
Resulting HTML
<td style="height: 20px;" nowrap="noWrap" width="19%">
<select name="DropDownListWorkLocation" id="DropDownListWorkLocation"
tabindex="9"
style="font-weight:bold;width:90%;background-repeat:repeat-y;background-color:powderblue;">

Hi, Cliff.
Use :
DropDownListWorkLocation.Attributes.Add("style", "background:powderblue");
If you want to apply different colors to different rows, adapt this :
If ds.Tables(0).Rows(i)("UnitPrice") <= 40 Then
DropDownListWorkLocation.Attributes.Add("style", "background:red")
Else
DropDownListWorkLocation.Attributes.Add("style", "background:yellow")
End If
....or some such variation.

I should have added that you can set both the background
and foreground colors in the same style properties, but you know that, right ?
Attributes.Add("style", "background: red; color: white;")
....would give you white letters on a red background.

I tried it and the background-color still shows as a dark gray.

That works with red and white, maybe there is a problem with
System.Drawing.Color.PowderBlue not being recognized ?

According to : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...es(VS.80).aspx

PowderBlue is a system-defined color.
Instead of passing the whole qualified name, try passing just the color name itself:
i.e., instead of :
System.Drawing.Color.PowderBlue;
use :
PowderBlue;

background:PowderBlue displays as dark gray:

How does that appear when you view it ?
Can you see PowderBlue...or do you see dark gray ?

PowderBlue is a system-defined color.
Instead of passing the whole qualified name, try passing just the color name itself:

the same as PowderBlue displays (here).
Your scroll bar components look more like PowderBlue.

Can you see PowderBlue...or do you see dark gray ?
