Locate row and cell

[dhuss]

Is there a way in server side code (vb.net) to go to a specfic row and column in a grid. An example, I have a grid with 20 rows and 10 columns. I would like to go to row 12, column 7 and hi-light that cell without having to iterate through the grid to locate the specfic row/column. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try accessing cells as shown below.
VB:

Protected Sub RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        item("Uniquename").ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
    End If
End Sub

Thanks,
Princy.

Wouldn't this code loop for each row and set the forecolor for every cell with the unique name of "UniqueName", i.e. the entire column. I only want to color a single cell in a single row without having to loop through every row to find a specific row and then the cell in the row.

Hi,

Please try following code snippet to give color for the 7th cell of 12th row.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem ditem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        if (ditem.ItemIndex == 2)
        {
            ditem.Cells[12].BackColor = Color.Red;
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
