Conditional formatting in GridView

[ZmrAbdulla]

In Datagrid I have a simple procedure to bold entire row like below.

    Protected Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)
        
        If (e.Item.Cells(6).Text = "Yes") Then
            e.Item.Cells(0).Font.Bold = True
            e.Item.Cells(1).Font.Bold = True
            e.Item.Cells(2).Font.Bold = True
            e.Item.Cells(3).Font.Bold = True
            e.Item.Cells(4).Font.Bold = True
            e.Item.Cells(5).Font.Bold = True
        End If
    End Sub

Cell(6) is a hidden. This is working fine.

How can I do it in GridView?

You could do the same thing by using the RowDataBound event and then using the e.Row.Cells method to reference each Cell. However, I'd set the e.Row.CSSClass to a class in your CSS file so that it's easier to maintain.

Paste your code for the GridView and it's code behind as my test seems to work fine.

It is working on "GridView1_RowCreated", GridView1_ItemDataBound", "GridView1_RowDataBound events. But the cell should be kept visible.That I don't prefer.

It was not working until I recreated the events.

For unknown reason the code inserted by the system was

 Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)

changed to

    Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)

when recreated.
I feel dumb...

Did a work around..
changed data "Yes" to "*" then keeping the cell visible, headertext="" and font size to smallest. So that the * will not be visible to the user.

It is fine for now.
