How to format Detailsview web control ASP.net with stylesheet css

Give the control an ID and write some CSS specific to that ...

DetailsView ID: myDetailsView

Example CSS:

#myDetailsView {
  background-color: #eee;
  border: 3px solid #000;
  color: #00f;
  font-family: Courier;
}

Is that the kind of thing that you are looking for?

Thnaks. It is not working. To be more especific, I want to "translate" the format properties of the detailsview web control such as the followings in a stylesheet css. How will you do that, since the sample you wrote does not work.

<asp:DetailsView ID="_detailsView" runat="server"                
                          AutoGenerateRows="false" DataKeyNames="BusinessListingID"                            
                          DataSourceID="EditDataSource"                                                        
                          EmptyDataText="No Data"
                          AlternatingRowStyle-BackColor = "#abbde3"                   
                                Width="400"
                                OnDataBound="_detailsView_DataBound"                     
                                Headertext="Business or Ranch Information"
                                HeaderStyle-BackColor="#000066"
                                HeaderStyle-ForeColor="#ffffff"
                                Showheader="true"
                                CssSelectorClass="datailsview"
                                >
