Question

I have a table id="table_results_header" which is inside a ItemTemplate. Is it possible, using the rowdatabound event to call the instance of that table that occurs on each row of the encapsulating gridview so that I can manipulate the styles programatically?

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
    however_you_get_to_the_table.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}

I’m really curious to know if this can be done?

Thanks

Yes, you can use FindControl

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
  ((Table)e.Row.FindControl("table_results_header")).BackColor = Color.Blue;
}
