Hi Marty,
Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you found that the webform DataGrid' properties you
set in the property window in VS.NET IDE didn't work, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
Based on my experience, since the DataGrid will be rendered as a Html Table
element to the client, so all the properties we set in DataGrid's property
window will be set into the TAble's style attribute. For example, as for
the below DataGrid:
<asp
ataGrid id="dgBound" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
ForeColor="Magenta" Font-Bold="True"
Font-Size="20pt" Font-Names="Bodoni MT Black" BackColor="#E0E0E0">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="index" HeaderText="Index"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="name" HeaderText="Name"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" UpdateText="Update"
HeaderText="Operations" CancelText="Cancel"
EditText="Edit"></asp:EditCommandColumn>
<asp:ButtonColumn Text="Delete" HeaderText="Delete" CommandName="Delete"
</asp:ButtonColumn>
</Columns>
</asp
ataGrid>
When the DataGrid is rendered to client html, all the properties set in the
IDE's property window will be output in the certain table's "style"
attribute, just as:
<table cellspacing="0" rules="all" border="1" id="dgBound"
style="color:Magenta;background-color:#E0E0E0;font-family:Bodoni MT
Black;font-size:20pt;font-weight:bold;border-collapse:collapse;">
As for your situation that the properties not work, I think it is likely
that the properties are overrided by the DataGrid's ItemStyle or cell
styles. Since if we specitfy the child element's style, the parent's style
won't work any more. Would you please have a check in your datagrid's html
source or the code to see whether there are any other style code in the
DataGrid's sub elements?
In addtion, here is a test page I used to test the DataGrid's property, you
may also have a test on it if you feel anything unclear, here is the page
