Alternate rows AND selected column

[Alex]

In the grid I can specify alternate row CSS to add visual separation between rows
I can also add a CSS to the sorted column to add visual cue which column is currently sorted

So lets say I have alternating rows with white/gray/white/gray background
I also have CSS for sorted column that turns background of the sorted column to blue. All cells in sorted column now have blue background. Compare to nicely white/gray/white/gray schema of the unsorted column it looks ugly.

Question: How can I can specify alternate row CSS for the sorted column? So in the sample above I would get white/gray/white/gray for unsorted columns and dark blue/ligh blue/dark blue/light blue for sorted ones?

Thank you

Hi Alex,

Give a try with the following approach and see whether it helps.

CS:

static string strColName;
    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Sort")
        {
            strColName = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
        }
    }
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            if ((e.Item.OwnerTableView.SortExpressions.Count > 0))
            {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                 if (item.ItemType == GridItemType.Item)
                     item[strColName].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
                 else if (item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem)
                     item[strColName].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.BlueViolet;

                 GridSortExpression expresion = new GridSortExpression();
                 if (expresion.SortOrder == GridSortOrder.None)
                     item[strColName].Style.Clear();

            }

        }
  }
