Column number from Itemdatabound help

[Lbob]

Hi

I want to alternate the color of the cells by column rather than row, but this depends on the content of the cell.

How do I reference the column in the itemdatabound? This is what I've got so far...

If e.Item.Cells(i).Text = "Empty" Then

'If column is even then use css Even, else use css odd

end if

Cheers
Lbob

If  e.Item.Cells(i).Text = "Empty"
   e.Item.Cells(i).CssClass = "Even"
Else
   e.Item.Cells(i).CssClass = "Odd"
End If

OR

With e.Item.Cells(i)
   If .Text = "Empty" Then
      .CssClass = "Even"
   Else
      .CssClass = "Odd"
   End If
End With

How about this?

bool isOddCell = false;
for (int i = 0; i < e.Item.Cells.Count; i++)
{
	isOddCell = !isOddCell;
	if (e.Item.Cells[i].Text == "Empty")
	{
		if (isOddCell) e.Item.CssClass = "odd";
		else e.Item.CssClass = "even";
	}
}
