Setting style properties in datalist depending on DB-content

[Jon Henning Bergane]

Hi newbie here,

Is it possible to set for example the color of some data
in a datalist which is bound to an SQLDatareader
depending on what data is in the current record? Is there
an event where i can read the current db-record and set
the color of the text??

Hi,
There is an event ItemCreated for DataList - You can check every element and
do what you want with it. (using Attributes)

So how could this be done here? i want to have
Creationtime in another color.

<asp:datalist id="dlArticles" runat="server" Font-
Names="Verdana" Font-Size="11px">
<ItemTemplate>
<b>
<%# Databinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "Creationdatetime", "{0:t}")%>
</b>&nbsp;<a href='article.aspx?RefID=<%#dr
("RefId")%>' target="mainart">
<%#dr("ArticleTitle")%>
</a><br>
</ItemTemplate>
