In some cases you may want to change the grid's appearance based on given conditions.

In Code

You can change the appearance of grid rows and cells matching specific criteria using the RowDataBound event.

To change the color of a specific row or a cell's font using the RowDataBound event, complete the following steps:

1. Specify the row number you want to change using the RowIndex property.
2. Set the desired color of the C1GridViewRow.BackColor property.

   For example, add the following code to the RowDataBound event:

   To write the code in Visual Basic:

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Protected Sub C1GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1GridView.C1GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles C1GridView1.RowDataBound      If (e.Row.RowIndex = 2) Then          e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red      End If  End Sub

   To write the code in C#:

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   private void C1GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1GridView.C1GridViewRowEventArgs e)       {           if ((e.Row.RowIndex == 2)) {           e.Row.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;       } }

3. You can also change the color of the font used in a specific cell by specifying the text in the cell and the desired color.
   

   For example, add the following code to the RowDataBound event:

   To write the code in Visual Basic:

     

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Protected Sub C1GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1GridView.C1GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles C1GridView1.RowDataBound      If (e.Row.Cells(0).Text = "Chang") Then          e.Row.Cells(0).ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green      End If  End Sub

   To write the code in C#:

     

   C#	Copy Code
   private void C1GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, C1.Web.UI.Controls.C1GridView.C1GridViewRowEventArgs e)  {      if ((e.Row.Cells[0].Text == "Chang")) {         e.Row.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;      }  }

   Note: You may need to change the column index in the code. This code changes the font color of the cell consisting of the text "Chang" to green.
