Put results of a Function into HTML code

[Henry Jones]

In ASP.NET 1.1, I have a Datagrid and I have the following column:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="ID" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
ItemStyle-BackColor="0066cc">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"title_id") %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>


Would it be possible to call the following function:
' ********************************************************************
Function Highlight(ByVal ytdSales As Integer) As String

If ytdSales > 10000 Then
Return "#0066cc"
Else
Return "#0033aa"
End If

End Function
' ********************************************************************

and replace the value on the TemplateColumn Header for the backcolor?

How could I do this in code? I don't understand.

Thanks,

Henry

Henry,

You could iterate through the DataGrid items collection and set the
BackColor
...
grdListing.DataBind();
foreach(DataGridItem item in grdListing.Items)
{
int ytdSales = int.Parse(item.Cells[0].Text);
item.BackColor = Color.FromName(Highlight(ytdSales));
}
...

Hope this helps
Kasumo.

Thanks for reply and I'll give your code a try, but I would like to find out
if I can do what I originally requested. Is there a way replace the code in
the TemplateColumnHeader by calling a function and if so, how can I do it?

Thanks,

Gary
