Back Color Lost on Sorting

[Stuart Ferguson]

I have put some additional logic into the ItemDataBound event to handle the conditional colour formatting which works perfectly on the initial screen display.  However when i click on one of my column headers to sort my data by the column the formatting is lost on the sorted column. 

Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening.

Here is my code from my ItemDataBound Event

protected void gridTxnEnquiry_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
         DataRow dr = ((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row;

        // Set the Back Colour depending on the Record Type
        int rectype = int.Parse(dr["RecordType"].ToString());
         switch (rectype)
        {
            case 0:
            dataItem.BackColor = Color.Blue
            break;
            case 1:
            dataItem.BackColor = Color.Red
            break;
        }
    }
}

Hello Stuart,

Try setting "SortingSettings-EnableSkinSortStyles" for retaining backcolor when sorting.

aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateEditColumn="false" AllowSorting="true"  SortingSettings-SortedBackColor="Blue"
 SortingSettings-EnableSkinSortStyles="false" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
</telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

Would that not mean however the rows that are formatted Red would have that cell back colour set to blue?  I need the column basically to retain the colour that has been set in the ItemDataBound event.

Stuart
