Empty DataGrid Formatting

Matthew Wieder · Aug 12, 2003

Hi - I have a datagrid that has a black header and the rows alternate
white and gray. The problem is that until items are added to the grid,
the grid appears as a large black rectangle, which is quite ugly. The
black area is larger then it is once an item is added. How can I solve
this problem either by:
A) Having only the header black and the rest of the empty block white or
gray (preffered solution)
B) Having the color gray or white until an item is added and then
changing to my default template colors - this is less ideal since I
would aslo then have to keep track of if all times are deleted and I go
back to the empty state.

thanks!

I believe you go into the Property Builder if it's an ASP.NET grid and
explicitily set the Header height....

Matthew Wieder · Aug 12, 2003

I'm not sure what version of VS you're using, but in mine, property
builder doesn't allow setting of the height for the header...
anyone else?

Hello Matthew,

Thanks for posting in the group.

1) for changing header color:
we could use the following in design time:
<asp

ataGrid ID="DefaultGrid" Runat="server" ShowHeader=True>
<HeaderStyle Font-Size="14px" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="LightSalmon"></HeaderStyle>
</asp

ataGrid>

2) for row colors:
we could implement the ItemDataBound event for the datagrid.

// event code
private void dGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e) {
// only apply on item and alternating item
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||
e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
// getting the index value ( or any other data cell
value )
string sVal = e.Item.Cells[0].Text;

// changing the color or all even rows
if ((Convert.ToInt32(sVal) == 3)
{
e.Item.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
}
}

You can try this also:
After binding the dataset to the datagrid.
just try this piece of code:
datagrid1.items[3].BackColor=System.Drawing.Color.Red.

Hope it helps.

I'm not sure you understand the issue - when an ASP.NET datagrid is
empty, whatever background color set for the header "spreads" to the
whole rectange, much larger then the area the header oocupies once it
has data. I'd like a way to stop the "spreading" so that the header
color is not over-applied to an empty grid.

Ram · Aug 14, 2003

Matthew,

Correct me if I could not understand your problem properly.

When you don't have any data in the datagrid, your header is spreading
to the size of the datagrid.

To get rid of this remove the height in the datagrid properties. By
doing this, your datagrid will stretch to the required height,
depending on the data.

If you wan to have fixed datagrid height, rap it in DIV tags and
specify height for the DIV tag.

Hope this helps.
Ram

Hello Matthew,

Now I understand what you need now.

Ram is right. If we don't set
DataGrid's Height property, the height of the header row will return to
normal. I have tested it on my side and it looks nice now.

If you have follow up questions, please post here. Thanks very much.
