protected void gvAbsenceTypes_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if (DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "TotalLeave") != null)
{
if (DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "TotalLeave").ToString() != "0")
{
Label lblTotalLeave = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblTotalLeave");
lblTotalLeave.Text = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "TotalLeave").ToString();
}
}

if (DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode").ToString() != "0")
{
Label lblTotalLeave = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblColour");
lblTotalLeave.Style.Add("background-color",""+DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode").ToString()+"");
lblTotalLeave.Style.Add("color",""+DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode").ToString()+"");
lblTotalLeave.text=DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode").ToString();

You can set the background color of the label by using below call:

C#

lblTotalLeave.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName( DataBinder.Eval( e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode" ).ToString() );

lblTotalLeave.Text = System.Drawing.Color.FromName( DataBinder.Eval( e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode" )).Name.ToString();

I am sure this will solve your problem.

You can use like this:

lblTotalLeave.Text = System.Drawing.Color.FromName( DataBinder.Eval( e.Row.DataItem, "colorcode" )).Name.ToString();

Torakami 20-Jul-13 4:01am

no need in row databound just bind the backcolor with label as it is a field in database
. In gridview template field you can do it in the label props. put hash before the colorcode in database or (use String.Formate if there is no hash symbol with colorcode in db). this is the easy approach
like this

C#

<asp:label id="lblColour" backcolor="<%#Eval("colorcode") %>" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:label>
