DataList - accessing <tr>

[Dunc]

I have a data list control with 3 columns. I want every second *row* to
have a dfferent CSS class. Can someone tell me how to access the parent
tablerow, and add a cssclass? I'm guessing I'll need to put some code in
the itemcreated or itemdatabound?

Thanks in advance,

Duncan

Define an ItemTemplate and an AlternateItemTe mplate. This allows you to have
every other item with a different format.

Marina,

Thanks for your reply. At the bottom of the post, I'd included the code -
including an itemtemplate and alternateitemte mplate; this doesn't work, as
we're effectively trying to style the whole parent row, not a single item.

Any thoughts?

Try putting everything in each template into a div, with the appropriate
css class.
