Hello!
I have created dinamically some datagrids, but I need to set the datagrids
row backcolor to a specific color depending of its contents and without using
AlternatingItemStyle because this does it every 1.5 rows and I need it every
2 rows.

The datagrids are inside of a dinamically created table, so everything is
programatically created except the aspTable.
Thanks.

Hi Martin,

You should be able to dig into the datagrid in the ItemDataBound event and
check for the contents of a particular cell. At that point, you can change
the backcolour. Here's some sample code. Let us know if it helps?

The source code of your example is static, but
you guide me to find the solution

My code is something like this.

  Protected WithEvents MainTable As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table

  Private sub createDynamicGrid (ds as dataset)
    Dim dGrid As New DataGrid
    dGrid = FormatDataGrid() 'Format the CellPadding, CellSpacing, Font, 
AutoGenerateColumns = False, Add Bound Columns etc..
    dGrid.datasource = ds
    dGrid.databind()

    AddHandler dGrid.ItemDataBound, AddressOf Grid_ItemCommand
    AddGridtoASPTable(dGrid)

  End sub


  Private Sub Grid_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)
      If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
          If (e.Item.Cells(0).Text.ToLower = " ") Then
            e.Item.Cells(i).BackColor = Color.FromName("Blue")
          End If
        End If
  End Sub

  private sub AddGridToASPTable(dGrid as datagrid)
     Dim tCell As TableCell
     Dim tRow As TableRow
     tRow = New TableRow
     tCell = New TableCell
     tCell.Controls.Add(dGrid)
     tRow.Cells.Add(tCell)
     MainTable.Rows.Add(tRow)
  end sub
