ForeColor='<%# Convert.ToString(Eval("Subject_Name")) == "Break" ? System.Drawing.Color.Magenta :Convert.ToString(Eval("Subject_Name")) == "Not Assigned" ? System.Drawing.Color.Red: System.Drawing.Color.Green %>' this worked for me

Solution 2

Try setting the BackColor or ForeColor property of Label like

BackColorr='<%# Convert.ToString(Eval("Fieldname")) == "Break" ? "red" :"green" %>'

// change the fieldname ,color and also format accordingly
Or

BackColorr='<%# Convert.ToString(Eval("Fieldname")) == "Break" ? System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FDEEEE") :System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFFFF") %>'

Or even you can use a c# method and just call it in the Markup .

Other alternative is to handle in the RowDataBound event and FindControl the Label control and set the color.

Did it solve the issue?

Member 10517120 28-Jan-14 1:07am

I need to Check

actually if the text is "Break" or "Not Assigned" color should be Red

Else Green. and the Column Name is 'Subject_Name'

JoCodes 28-Jan-14 1:09am

Ok, try it out and let me know .

Member 10517120 28-Jan-14 1:09am

this is the error which i got

Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'System.Drawing.Color' and 'bool

JoCodes 28-Jan-14 1:11am

Convert the color to string

ForeColor='<%# Convert.ToString(Eval("Subject_Name")) == "Break" ? System.Drawing.Color.Magenta :Convert.ToString(Eval("Subject_Name")) == "Not Assigned" ? System.Drawing.Color.Red: System.Drawing.Color.Green %>'

I have updated the solution with one way if you need to use color code instead of Color directly. Both works . Nice to see you have solved the issue. :)
