Hi RAVINDRA,

You need to set AlternationCount as well.

AlternationCount="2" alternates every other row...  Saves you 1 build/run cycle if you thought 1 was a good value ;)

Is it possible to change the row background color for every group of N rows? For instance, if N=3, then the first three rows are gray, then the next 3 are white, than the following 3 are gray again, etc. I realize I can achieve this in code behind via the RowLoaded event, but I was wondering if that is doable via xaml only.

Thanks!

Hi,

 Have you tried to specify desired alteration count?

Yes, but that does not quite achieve what I want. As I mentioned in my previous post, I want the alternate background color to apply to the next N rows. Some thing like this:

If N=3, then

Row 1 -- Bkgd: blue
Row 2 -- Bkgd: blue
Row 3 -- Bkgd: blue
Row 4 -- Bkgd: red
Row 5 -- Bkgd: red
Row 6 -- Bkgd: red
Row 7 -- Bkgd: blue
Row 8 -- Bkgd: blue
Row 9 -- Bkgd: blue
...

Do you get the idea?

Hi,

In this case you should use RowStyleSelector to define your condition. More info can be found on our demos.

"You need to set AlternationCount as well."
It would be nice if setting the AlternateRowBackground would also default AlternationCount to "2" if no value was specified.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Currently, such an option is not planned.
