[Solved] Changing background color for particular columns

[Tim]

I'm trying to change the alternate row background color for particular columns so that they are different from the applied skin that appears in the remaining columns and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Here is my CSS:

    <style type="text/css">
         div.MfgClass tr.rgAltRow
         {
           background-color: red;
         }
    </style>

And here is my HTML:

        <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="manufacturer"
            HeaderText="Mfg" SortExpression="manufacturer"
            UniqueName="manufacturer" ItemStyle-CssClass="MfgClass">
            <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Try out the following code in order to achieve the required.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if( e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem )
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        item["CustomerID"].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
    }
}

-Shinu.

Shinu,

Thanks for the reply.  I dropped in the code just as you show, but nothing changes.  The column I used to test has the same alternating row background color as the rest of the columns.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Tim
