The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Setting Back Colour on a Datagrid

Asked by Paul-Brooks in Development Software, .Net Editors & IDEs, Microsoft Development

Tags:

Hi

I have a problem setting the back colour on a datagrid in the form loading event.

I use 2 subs, one to populate the datagrid and a second that sets the colour of each line on the datafrid - dependent upon the value of one of the items.

The same 2 subs are used in the button click events on the form and work fine and the back colours are set as expected.

However, in the form loading event the colour remains as default. I have stepped thru the code and the conditional statements that set the colour appear to be working fine but the row's backcolours aren't changed.

Any ideas as to why its not working in the form loading event?
