System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   DataControlField Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the style properties for the individual columns in a DataControlField.

Script	DataControlField.ItemStyle.Property [ = enumValue ]

A TableItemStyle object that defines the style properties for the individual columns in a DataControlField.

Use the ItemStyle property to provide a custom style for the individual columns in types that derive from the DataControlField class. Common style attributes that can be set include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment within the cell. Providing different row styles enhances the appearance of the DataControlField control.

The ItemStyle subproperties can be set declaratively using either of the following methods:

• Include an attribute in the opening tag of the DataControlField control in the form ItemStyle-Property

  <asp:datacontrolfield ... 
     itemstyle-property=value
     ... >
  
  </asp:datacontrolfield>

• Include a <ItemStyle> element between the opening and closing tags of the DataControlField control

  <asp:datacontrolfield ... >
  
     <itemstyle
        ... property definitions here />
  
  </asp:datacontrolfield>

The subproperties can also be set programmatically in the form ItemStyle.Property.

For a list of style properties that can be set, see the TableItemStyle class.

The below snippet shows how to set the ItemStyle for a BoundField column in a GridView control at design time.

<asp:boundfield headertext = "Price"
   datafield = "UnitPrice"
   htmlencode=false
   dataformatstring = "{0:n2}"
   itemstyle-horizontalalign = "right" />
