Hi there!

My GridView is into Repeater.

So after its binding I'm trying to change font color of the 2nd column.

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     GridView gv = (GridView)Page.FindControl("GridView1");
     gv.Columns[1].ControlStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
 }

But got an error.

What event should I use?

Thank you!

Try it changing the color after binding the grid.

Thanks! The proper event is GridView1_RowDataBound.

Thats what i want you to search out. :)
RowDataBound is binding the grid with data.
