I want to set the color for all cells in certain rows of the grid (like when an email is high priority, or if a payment is past due).  It seems the best place to do this is the ItemDataBound event, but I was wondering if there is any way to set an attribute for the entire row, or if I have to explicitly specify every cell in the row and set its color property.

Thanks

Hello James,

Well, yes, you can set a style to the row, there is no need to apply it to each cell separately. Alternatively, you can set CssClass and add the styles in an external CSS file.

Hello,

I hope the following links which shows how to access the cells, would be helpful in achieving this.

I have tried setting the style on the row using both the Style property and the ApplyStyle method, but neither one appears to work(for the row).  For example, I am currently running the following code (in my ItemDataBound event handler):

Dim dataBoundItem as GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
If ChangeColor then
   Dim primaryStyle as New Style()
   primaryStyle.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red

   dataBoundItem.ApplyStyle(primaryStyle)
   dataBoundItem.Item("DueDate").ApplyStyle(primaryStyle)
End If

When it runs, only the DueDate column changes color.

Hi James,

It seems to me that you have some CSS styles on the page, which define text color or table cells. This could be a reason why color defined for rows does not apply.

You should remove the table cell color styles in order to be able to set color to rows. Alternatively modify the cell color styles to not influence RadGrid.
