Description: Sometimes we want to highlight some data in GridView so that we can clearly differentiate some data against the large number of records being displayed in GridView. There may be multiple occasions where we need to change the cell color of GridView to make it different and easily identifiable
For example: if we are displaying the details of all the students and we want to differentiate the students based on their gender i.e. By male or female then we can assign different colors to all the students based on their gender. I am going to implement this in this article.
Implementation: Let's create a demo website to demonstrate the concept.
- First of all create a DataBase in Sql server and name it e.g. "DB_Student" and in this database create a table with the following Columns and Data type as shown below and name this table "Tbl_Student".
Column Name
|
Data Type
|
StudentId
|
Int(Primary Key. So set is identity=true)
|
StudentName
|
varchar(100)
|
Class
|
varchar(50)
|
Age
|
Int
|
Gender
|
varchar(50)
|
Address
|
varchar(500)
|
- Create a stored procedure to save student details in sql server database table
CREATE PROCEDURE SaveStudentDetails_SP
@StudentName VARCHAR(100),
@Class VARCHAR(50),
@Age INT,
@Gender VARCHAR(10),
@Address VARCHAR(500)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO dbo.Tbl_Student(StudentName,Class,Age,Gender,Address)
VALUES(@StudentName,@Class,@Age,@Gender,@Address)
END
- Create another stored procedure to get student details to be filled in GridView Data Control.
CREATE PROCEDURE GetStudentDetails_SP
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM dbo.Tbl_Student
END
- Now let's connect our asp.net application with Sql Server database
So In the <configuration> tag of web.config file create the connection string as:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="conStr" connectionString="Data Source=LALIT;Initial Catalog=DB_Student;Integrated Security=True"/>
</connectionStrings>
Note: Replace the Data Source and Initial Catalog as per your database settings.
- In the <Form> tag of the asp.net design page (e.g. Default.aspx) design the page as:
<div>
<fieldset style="width:370px;">
<legend>Highlight Gridview cell/column based on condition</legend>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Student Name:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtStuName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Class:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtClass" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Age:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAge" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gender:</td>
<td>
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblGender" RepeatColumns="2" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>Male</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Female</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAddress" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" onclick="btnSave_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnReset" runat="server" Text="Reset"
onclick="btnReset_Click" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<asp:GridView ID="grdStudentDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
onrowdatabound="grdStudentDetails_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Student Name" DataField="StudentName" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Class" DataField="Class" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Age" DataField="Age" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Gender" DataField="Gender" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Address" DataField="Address" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</div>
Note if you are using BoundField to display data in GridView as Highlighted above in Yellow Color then you need to write the following code in RowDataBoundEvent of gridview:
protected void grdStudentDetails_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Row.Cells[3].Text))
{
if (e.Row.Cells[3].Text == "Male")
{
e.Row.Cells[3].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
e.Row.Cells[3].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Cyan;
}
else
{
e.Row.Cells[3].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
e.Row.Cells[3].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;
}
}
}
But if you are using Template Field and Item template to display data .e.g. as shown below highlighted in yellow color
<asp:GridView ID="grdStudentDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
onrowdatabound="grdStudentDetails_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Student Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblStudentname" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("StudentName") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Class">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblClass" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Class") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Age">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblAge" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Age") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Gender">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblGender" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Gender") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Address">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblAddress" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Address") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Then you need to write the following code to find the label control displaying gender value and assign color to the row accordingly in RowDataBound control as:
protected void grdStudentDetails_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
Label lblGender = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblGender");
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(lblGender.Text))
{
if (lblGender.Text == "Male")
{
e.Row.Cells[3].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
e.Row.Cells[3].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Cyan;
}
else
{
e.Row.Cells[3].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
e.Row.Cells[3].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;
}
}
}
}
So the complete code would be as:
