How can I can disable the zebra effect of a grid by setting the ClientSettings -> EnableAlternatingItems property of the grid to false

[Herman Gouw]

Hi,

I am using Telerik RadControls for ASPNET AJAX Q3 2008 on my current project.

I would like to disable the zebra effect on the grid on one of the web forms.

According to http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grdcreatingnewskins.html I can do so by setting the ClientSettings -> EnableAlternatingItems property of the grid to false.

However the property does not seem to exist, and it is not possible to do this 

1. At design-time as follows:

    <telerik:RadGrid ID="radGrid" runat="server">

        <ClientSettings EnableAlternatingItems="false">

            <Scrolling UseStaticHeaders="true" />

        </ClientSettings>

    </telerik:RadGrid>

2. Programmatically as follows:

    this.radGrid.ClientSettings. EnableAlternatingItems  = false;

Can you please tell me how to do this?

Thanks & regards,

Herman Gouw

Hello Herman,

The EnableAlternatingItems property is available from Q1 2009 (version 2009.1.311) of the RadGrid control. So since you are using an older version, you would have to upgrade the controls to later versions to make use of this property. Also here's a kb article on how to upgrade your controls from an older version to the latest:
Updating RadControls for ASP.NET to another version or license

Thanks
Princy.
