Get data from non selected row

[Michael]

I would like to compare each row in a radgrid with the one above it to highlight changes. None of the rows will be selected so i need to somehow get the data for each row and compare it after binding. Is there a way for me to access all of the data in the grid if a row isn't selected?

Hi Michael,

I believe you could achieve this in the ItemDataBound event of the RadGrid. Something like the below should work.

I hope this helps!

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

   if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

   {

      GridDataItem currItm = e.Item as GridDataItem;

      if (currItm.ItemIndex > 0)

      {

         GridDataItem prevItm = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[currItm.ItemIndex - 1] as GridDataItem;

            //Use the UniqueName for the column you want to compare below
         if (currItm["Column1UniqueName"].Text != prevItm["Column1UniqueName"].Text)

         {

            currItm.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

         }

      }

   }

}
