Set row color of Telerik Grid - colors

Question

I have used Telerik RadGrid to build a grid. The grid itself works but it is databound to a SQL database. I am trying to display rows with different colors.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
Here is what I have so far:
protected void SummaryGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
GridItem dataItem = e.Item;
if (dataItem["Red"].Text = "Red")
{
dataItem.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
}
}
Any help with this would be great.

Answer 1

Try the following code to change the color based on a particular value.
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item;
if (dataItem["Size"].Text == "1")
{
dataItem.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Red;
}
}

You can use style triggers to accomplish this.
App.xaml
<Style BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewRowStyle}" TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding YourObject.Size Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter}}" Value="Red">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding YourObject.Size Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter}}" Value="Green">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
ColorConverter.cs
public class ColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
if (value is int)
{
if ((int)value > 100)
return "Red";
else
return "Green";
}
else
return "Default";
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
// TODO: Implement this method
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}

Figured it out and its really simple actually, just going to say if the text equals what you need it to be then its a red row or if its something else then its whatever other color. Really easy but a lot of people have had this issue so hopefully this helps others.
if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
var item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
if (item["Type"].Text == "RedRow")
{
item.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
else if(item["Type"].Text == "OrangeRow")
{
item.BackColor = Color.Orange;
}
}
