Remarks

Use the AlternatingItemStyle property to control the appearance of alternating data items in a Telerik RadGrid control. When this property is set, the data items are displayed alternating between the ItemStyle settings and the AlternatingItemStyle settings. This property is read-only; however, you can set the properties of the GridTableItemStyle object it returns. The properties can be set declaratively using one of the following methods:

  • Place an attribute in the opening tag of the Telerik RadGrid control in the form Property-Subproperty, where Subproperty is a property of the GridTableItemStyle object (for example, AlternatingItemStyle-ForeColor).
  • Nest an <AlternatingItemStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the Telerik RadGrid control.

The properties can also be set programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, AlternatingItemStyle.ForeColor). Common settings usually include a custom background color, foreground color, and font properties.

Requirements

Supported in: 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0 .NET Framework
