Questions concerning detailsview or datagrid ASP.NET 2.0

Hello,

first of all - let me introduce myself. I am a german ColdFusion developer
since 1997. I watched the development of Asp.net for a few years and now,
with the beta of 2.0 I would like to learn this language.

I´ve tested certain record viewer components pretty successfully - but
a few things I cannot solve - even google didn´t show me the
information I was looking fo (maybe I just cannot find them as I don´t
kjnow exactly what I am looking for)

Please let me know if this is not the correct group.

My code is:

<form runat="server">

<asp:detailsview runat="server" id="detailView"

datasourceid="testDB" allowpaging="true" headertext="Fischarten"

datakeynames="ftbFischArtId" autogenerateeditbutton="true"

autogeneratedeletebutton="true"    autogenerateinsertbutton="true"

GridLines="both" width="250px"

BorderWidth="1"    BorderColor="Black" cellpadding="2">

<headerstyle     Font-Name="arial"

        Font-Size="9pt"

        Font-Bold="false"

        ForeColor="black"

        BackColor="#f55405" />

<rowstyle     Font-Name="arial"

        Font-Size="9pt"

        Font-Bold="false"

        ForeColor="black"

        BackColor="white"/>

<editrowstyle     Font-Name="arial"

        Font-Size="9pt"

        Font-Bold="false"

        ForeColor="black"

        BackColor="#D4D0C8"/>

<pagerstyle     BackColor="#D4D0C8"

        horizontalalign="left" />

<pagersettings     firstpageimageurl="images/left_all.jpg"

        lastpageimageurl="images/right_all.jpg"

        nextpageimageurl="images/right.jpg"

        previouspageimageurl="images/left.jpg"

        mode="NextPreviousFirstLast" />

</asp:detailsview>

</form>

Works pretty fine - except the layout. And this are my questions:

How can I set borders to header and pager (including the color)?
How can I change the color of the gridlines? They always gray -
independend on what I do.
How can I change the width of a cell? Maybe the left cell of all rows. And
how to change the color of them?

Any hint is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Stefan

The DetailsView has it's own predefined layout. If you want more control
look into the <asp:FormView>. It's the same idea, except you provide your
own template for the entire layout. When databinding, don't use the <%# Eval
%> syntax, instead be sure to use the <%# Bind %> syntax so your posted changes
will be sent back to your DataSource control.
