Change color of Item Template TextBox on Condition

A

Alan Z. Scharf

1. I wantto change the color of a datagrid ItemTemplate TextBox in all the
grid rows depending on radio button choice.

2. How can I do this in C#?

So far I have:

public void dgHoldings_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(rdoHoldingsDisplay.SelectedItem.Value == "Inactive")
{
TextBox txtBoxHolding = new TextBox();
txtBoxHolding = (TextBox) e.Item.Cells[1].Controls[0];
txtBoxHolding.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
}

I get Invalid Cast error, but it doesn't work without cast either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Alan

Hi Alan,

In DataGird.ItemDataBound method, the first e.Item is the Header of the
Datagrid, the last Item is the Footer of the Datagrid. There is no Textbox
in the Header of the Datagrid. You may use "if((e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))"
to solve this issue. The following is a code snippet to demonstrate this.

void Item_Bound(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
{
. . .
}
}

If you still get the "Invalid Cast error, then the problem should be that
the textbox in the Datagrid ItemTemplate is the second control of the cell.
So, you may use "e.Item.Cells[1].Controls[1]" to get the reference of the
textbox.

You may check the following links for your reference.
ItemDataBound Event (.NET Framework Class Library)

DataGrid.UpdateCommand Event

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Lewis
