Modify rows in DataTable

[Elton Wang]

Hi Steve,

Suppose you want to change text in some column depending
on the data in data source, you can do it in ItemDataBound
event.

Dim itemType As ListItemType = e.Item.ItemType
If itemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem OrElse itemType
= ListItemType.Item Then
' Get data from underlying data source
Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem,
DataRowView)
Dim cell As TableCell = e.Item.Cells(colIndex)
If drv(colindex) = (today's event) Then
cell.Text = "Today"
cell.BackColor = Color.Red
End If
End If

The ItemDataBound will automatically loop thru whole rows

ASP.NET 1.1, Web Forms :
In my code I create a DataSet, then a DataTable within it.
I want to loop through the rows of the DataTable and

modify the columns of each row.

For example, I create a table that gets bound to a

DataGrid, to show upcoming events form my club. If the
event is today, I want to alter the text to say "Today!"
and change the color.

I figure that I can resort to the old "Response.Write"

loop via old ASP, but am new to ASP.NET and want to learn
the "right" way.
