Color rows in datagrid based on the cell value

[sqlturbo]

hi,

I am a newbie in C# and I cannot figure this one out.
I want to color the rows in a datagrid based on the value in the first column. How do I do that in C#?

Thanks.

You can do it in the ItemDataBound event like so:

private void YourDataGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.Item.Cells[0].Text == "YourValueHere")
	{
		e.Item.BackColor=System.Drawing.Color.Red;
	}
}
