Question

I am working on asp.net 3.5 application. I have a datagrid. I want to change the row color based on the dataitem to which the row is bound. I know this can be easy done in gridview using rowdatabound event but this event it not available in Datagrid control. Please suggest me how to use it?

Have you tried:

    protected void grdSomething_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
            e.Item.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
    }

The tag

<asp:DataGrid runat="server" ID="grdSomething" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
    onitemdatabound="grdSomething_ItemDataBound">

The output:
