Set Color of GridLines in Gridview

There are times when you will want to set the color of the grid lines in your GridView - however there is not to my knowledge a way of doing this declaratively. A workaround is to do this by tapping into the GridView's RowDataBound event.

First, set the OnRowDataBound property in the markup of the GridView:

OnRowDataBound="MyGrid_RowDataBound"

Second, set the color in the OnRowDataBound handler method:

protected void MyGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

    {

        foreach (TableCell tc in e.Row.Cells)

        {

            tc.Attributes["style"] = "border-color: #c3cecc";

        }

    }

Happy Coding
