how to put color in listitems of dropdownlist?

[Vincent]

Hi,
i would like to have a background color for each listitem in the
dropdownlist which is fed with code-behind:

For i = 1 To 20
z = New ListItem("item" & i, i)
DropDownList1.Items.Add(z)
next

Thanks
Vincent

I know, it's :
dropdownlist1.backcolor = ...
but what i want is the color in function of the value of the listitem.
i'll make a new thread.

I use the following sub to set item styles.

Private Sub SetArtistStyle()
Dim i As Integer = 1
For i = 0 To ListOfArtists.Items.Count - 1
Dim li As ListItem = ListOfArtists.Items(i)
Select Case i Mod 2
Case 0
li.Attributes.Add("style",
"background-color:SkyBlue;color:Black")
Case 1
li.Attributes.Add("style",
"background-color:Silver;color:Black")
End Select
Next
End Sub

The code is executed after a DataBind on the dropdown. If you are not using
databinding then you can use this a version of the code in the above routine
after you create the dropdown item.

Hope this helps

Thanks,

the error was the missing ADD:
z.Attributes.Add("style", "color:red")
