Hello experts, i am using a webform with a datagrid. Within the itemdatabound event of my datagrid i am trying to change the font size of text, within the datagrid cells. I cant remeber how to change the font size below is what i tried.
Private Sub dgactive_ItemDataBound(ByV
'handles the datagrid load
If e.Item.ItemType <> ListItemType.Header And e.Item.ItemType <> ListItemType.Footer Then
' if some condition is met set the text of the cell
e.Item.Cells(2).Text = "Active"
e.Item.Cells(2).Font = New Font("Arial", 14)
e.Item.Cells(2).ForeColor = Color.Green
' Else
e.Item.Cells(2).Text = "Not Active"
e.Item.Cells(2).ForeColor = Color.Red
' End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub dgactive_ItemDataBound(ByV
'handles the datagrid load
If e.Item.ItemType <> ListItemType.Header And e.Item.ItemType <> ListItemType.Footer Then
' if some condition is met set the text of the cell
e.Item.Cells(2).Text = "Active"
e.Item.Cells(2).Font = New Font("Arial", 14)
e.Item.Cells(2).ForeColor = Color.Green
' Else
