Question

I have a label control that has the value

123| value9| value6|value9

Right below this label control, I have a gridview, I want to make that item of the gridview bold that has the linkbutton with
123 value in it

so for e.g

value9     Value1             Value3                   Value4

345   Tested Value             Equipment1               Equipment3
456   Testing              Equipment9                   Equipment9
123   Value9               Valu6                         value9
789   Value8               Value10                         value20

900 value5 value3 value34

all the value in value9 is a linkbutton. I want the whole line to be bold 123 Value9 Valu6 value9 when the label control has 123 in it and if the label control has 789 in it then I want the 789 Value8 Value10 value20 to be bold.
any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Have a look at the RowDataBound event.

Use the GridViewRowEventArgs object, to get a reference to the current Row and set its Font.Bold to true

You also need to include your if-condition into the RowDataBound event. How you do that depends on your datasource:

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// use QuickWatch to see how you can get your desired information from e.Row.DataItem
}

I’ve once written an article about the RowDataBound event: http://www.tomot.de/en-us/article/7/asp.net/gridview-overview-of-different-ways-to-bind-data-to-columns
