Hi,

Is it possible to change the color of a row in data table depending on text values before binding it to the grid? I can change the row color in grid but I want to know whether is there any way that it can done in data table itself. If so, please let me on how to achieve that.

Thanks in advance..

Well, you are able to do the row color functionality in Datagrid as it is supported by Datagrid. If you have a look at the rendered HTML of a datagrid, it is a table with additional html defining the style of rows if defined.
Hope this explains you that the similar thing is not supported inherintly in Tables.

Further, though you can explicitly try to add style to each row of table but while binding it to a grid, it would not integrate those table row sytles and thus it would be futile to do so. You will have to go and add row styles in grid.

Thanks for the explanation Sandeep. Can you let me know how to see the rendered html of a grid?

Just do a ViewSource of the page in browser where you have a Gridview. :)

Thanks for the link Abhinav, but What is in the link is changing the row color of grid which I have already done. What I want is, changing it in the dynamically binding data table before binding it to the grid. According to Sandeep's answer, I assume its not possible but Please feel free to share if you have any other suggestions :)
