Question

Sorry i’m new to .net and learning so this may be very simple.

I have a page with a html table on and am accessing it from code behind and changing what is displayed depending on values from a database, I have managed to change what text is displayed and the background color but i’m struggling to change either a rows or a cells font/fore color.

I know my code probably isn’t the most efficient way of doing this but as i said i am learning.

Thanks in advance – J.

'Iterate through the rows of the table.
    For i = 0 To Table1.Rows.Count - 1

        'Iterate through the cells of a row.
        For j = 0 To Table1.Rows(i).Cells.Count - 1

            If i = 0 Then

                If (ds.Tables.Count > 0) And (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0) Then
                    Table1.Rows(i).BgColor = "#f4f4f4"
                Else
                    Table1.Rows(i).BgColor = "#ffffff"

You can use the CSSClass property of the Row element:

Table1.Rows(i).CssClass = "YourClassName"

or you can set the Style attribute:

Table1.Rows(i).Attributes("style") = "color:red;"
