Conditional Formatting rows in RadGridView
It can be useful at times to draw the users attention to a certain row or rows in a grid. You might want to point out an account that is about to expire or show that an entry requires approval. Normally, you would evaluate the data in the grid yourself to change the BackColor of a row. The RadGridView offers you the ability to create a condition that will apply certain formatting for you. I have created a simple class that will allow us to display a few laptop orders. public class Laptop { public string Manufacturer { get; set; } public double Price {...November 22, 2008 2 min read -

We can do that by creating a Business object that holds this for us: public class ColumnSelector : DataTable { ... -
