Alternating Row Style

[miksh]

Do all grid skins have alternating row style? E.g. Silk - how to enable it?

Hello Michael,

As you have found out yourself, not every skin have a different background for alternating rows, which is a design's decision.

However, RadGrid allows you to easily customize the style for alternating items. Following is a simple example demonstrating how to set different background color for the alternating items:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" Skin="Silk">
    <AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="#fafafa" />
</telerik:RadGrid>

The same could be achieved with CSS:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource" Skin="Metro" CssClass="CustomCSS">
</telerik:RadGrid>

And the CSS:

<style type="text/css">
    .CustomCSS .rgAltRow {
        background-color: #fafafa!important;
    }
</style>

Hope that helps.
