row background color based on ds criteria

[Faraz Haque]

Is there a way to set the background of a row in a datagrid based on a criteria in the datasource at runtime? Let say, i want to color all rows with "updated" column value = true to blue. How can I accomplish this?

Here is a KB discussing how to go about this.

In your PrepareViewStyleInfo, you would need to check your criteria based on e.RowIndex and e.ColIndex, and then conditionally set e.Style.BackColor.

With a groupinggrid, you can probably use ConditionalFormats. These are discussed in this forum thread.
