ItemDataBound question?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have this kind of scenario:

col1 col2 col3
row1 1 2 3
row2 4 5 6
row3 7 6 9

In certain instances the value in cell (row2, col3="6") equals the value in
cell (row3, col 2="6"). It's the same value , they are valuepairs. And thus I
want to color them with the same color to distinguis them from the other
values in the other cells.

I've been using the grid's ItemDataBound method earlier for coloring
different cells in the grid, but can this method act upon values in two
different rows?

Any ideas?

You'll have to query your original data source to do that sort of cross row
logic. The reason you can't/shouldn't query the row in the grid is because
it's been converted into control objects at this point, and it's more difficult
to turn the control's text back into the original datatype that was from
your data source.
