Hi everyone,

I want to display background color in in asp.net gridview cell.

For example:
I have two columns with name DateFrom and DateTo.

DateFrom(2nd column in GridView)
DateTo(3rd Column in GridView)

if datefrom is less than Dateto it should be red.
and if DateTo is greater than DateFrom it should be GREEN

C#

item.Cells[1].BackColor = Color.FromName("#FF6A6A")RED color;
item.Cells[2].BackColor = Color.FromName("#77FF77")Green Color;

Please help, Thanks.

You need to use RowDataBound of GridView, something like:

C#

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{ 
   DataControlRowType rtype = e.Row.RowType;  
   if (rtype == DataControlRowType.DataRow && rtype != DataControlRowType.Footer
       && rtype != DataControlRowType.Separator && rtype != DataControlRowType.Header
       && rtype != DataControlRowType.Pager)  
   { 
      // Control specific

      TextBox tb1 = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("myDate1");
      TextBox tb2 = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("myDate2");
      
      // Your logic for data of tb1 & tb2.
      // Your setting of the color for defined column. 
      
   }
}
