How can I change the backcolor of cells of the row selected of a listview?

Sorry, hit enter too soon.  

There's a javascript solution on that page.  If that doesn't suit you for some reason, the gridview control has a native way of changing the selected row color.

Im gertting server tag not well formed using this from the former link..

<tr id="Tr2" runat="server"  style="background-color:<%#(Container.DisplayIndex == ListView1.SelectedIndex) ? "blue" : "#FFFBD6" %>;color: #333333;">

You need to change the <% %> to what you want, like this:

<tr id="Tr2" runat="server" style="background-color:#FFFBD6;color: #333333;">

Select allOpen in new window

This is exactly what I have..
<td>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="EditButton" runat="Server" Text='<%# Eval("keyID") %>'  
                            CommandName="Edit" />
 
                    </td>
but is not working meaning  changing the backcolor.

Hi, if you could post me your entire working listview from <asp:Listview> to </asp:Listview> then I can insert a SelectedItemTemplate for you to get you going...

thanks, check it out

      <asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server"  DataKeyNames="pkeyID"
            style="margin-left: 0px">
            <LayoutTemplate>
                <table cellpadding="1" border="1" runat="server" id="tblNames">
                    <tr id="Tr1" runat="server">
                                          <th id="Th2" runat="server">
                            Last Name
                        </th>
                        <th id="Th3" runat="server">
                            First Name
                        </th>
                        <th id="Th4" runat="server">

                        </th>

                    </tr>
                    <tr runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder" />
                </table>
 
            </LayoutTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <tr id="Tr2" runat="server" style="background-color:#FFFBD6;color: #333333;">
               

                    <td>
                        <asp:Label ID="LastNameLabel" runat="Server" CssClass="cap" Text='<%#Eval("LastName") %>' />
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top">
                        <asp:Label ID="FirstNameLabel" runat="Server" CssClass="cap" Text='<%#Eval("FirstName") %>' />
                    </td>

                    </td>
                    <td valign="top">

                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="Server" Text="Update" OnClientClick="window.scrollBy(0, document.body.scrollHeight)" CommandName="Update" CausesValidation="false" />
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="Server"  OnClientClick="return confirm('OK to Delete?')" Text="Delete" CommandName="Delete" CausesValidation="false"/>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:ListView>
    </form>

can u suggest also how to make it nicer?

Btw for changing the colour in the above code, use the following line (within the SelectedItemTemplate):

<tr id="Tr2" runat="server" style="background-color:#0000FF;color: #FFFFFF;">

nothing change, the row color did not change.
