Hello Johny,
(I already answered this here)

I have no ideea what's changed since then but if you want to format a row, in my personal opinion, you should use the CellFormatting event:
"
Telerik Documentation Formatting Cells or RowFormatting event:Telerik Documentation Formatting Rows.

And an answer from telerik says that:
 "As long as the RadGridView control uses UI virtualization, GridCellElement and GridRowElement should be used only in formatting events. Please refer to this blog post for more information about virtualization and formatting."

Try them and use whichever suits your needs the best.

Hi Emanuel Varga:

Thanks for your reply, I don't know why your given link showing HTTP 404 error, however other stuff are helpful to me.
Could you please post sample code snippets for me.

Hello again,

I guess they changed the links for the documentation, anyhow this is for the RowFormatting and for the CellFormatting

Sorry about that

Hello Johny,

Thank you for your question.

As Emanuel explained, in order to change row color based on cell value you can use the RadGridView formatting events.

A second option is to use conditional formatting. You can read about this method in this help article.

All the best,

Hello Alexander,

Until recently I've been using mostly conditional formatting, but conditional formatting has some problems changing the back Color of the row to reflect the OnHover event.

Hi Varga
Absolutely right! I agree with you...

Thanks

Hello,

The Conditional formatting defines the local value for the visual properties of the cells. It has higher priority than the styles, defined by the theme. That is why the theme hover style does not affect the cells visual appearance when it is set using conditional formatting.
