What I am trying to do is Change the color of a row from a value that is in
a Database using the ItemStyle-BackColor Property. The value in the DB is
the color name. I keep getting a number of errors:

BC30676: 'DataBinding' is not an event of
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.BoundColumn'

Or
Literal content ('<asp:BoundColumn DataField="UID" HeaderText="UID"
ItemStyle-Font-Size="8" ReadOnly="true"
ItemStyle-BackColor=system.drawing.color.fromname(BomView.FieldValue("EngAdd
", Container)) Visible="False"/>') is not allowed within a
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumnCollection'.

So is there an easy way to do this?

Randy

Randy,
Something like this should work for you.
Jared

Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
If Not e.Item.DataItem Is Nothing Then
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or
ListItemType.Item Or ListItemType.SelectedItem Then
Dim Item As DataGridItem = CType(e.Item, DataGridItem)
Item.BackColor =
Color.FromName(DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(e.Item.DataItem,
"FieldContainingColorName"))
End If
End If
End Sub
