Question

User-830563764 posted

In a VS2010 ASP.net 4 webpage, I have a GridView control displaying data from a SqlDataSource.
There is a selected column, Region, for the GridView.  I would like to display the Region name with
a bold and big font, as a subtitle. 

Where and how should I code the <h3><%$ Eval("Region") %></h3>?
I tried coding between the GridView and SqlDataSource codes, but no good.

Hi wonjartran,

I would like to display the Region name with a bold and big font, as a subtitle. 

Firstly, you could modify the code to this.

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <h3><%#Eval("Region") %></h3>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Secondly, you could try to use BoundField and specify ItemStyle-CssClass property.

.myclass {
    font-size: large;
    font-weight: bold;
}

<asp:BoundField DataField="Region" HeaderText="Region" ItemStyle-CssClass="myclass" />

Hi,

Where and how should I code the <h3><%$ Eval("Region") %></h3>?

Instead of $ use #.

Try this :

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
       <b><h3><%#Eval("Region") %></h3></b>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Fei Han,

In my GridView data control, I used <Columns> to display the <asp:BoundField DataField..>
<%# Eval("Region") %> does not allowed to be coded inside the <Columns>.

My question is how to code the <ItemTemplate>as a data row (i.e. a subtitle) for the GridView?

Hi wonjartran,

Firstly, as I mentioned in my previous reply, if you’d like to set special style for BoundField, you could specify CSS style via ItemStyle-CssClass property.

Secondly, if you’d like to use TemplateField to display subtitle and create nested GridView, you could refer to this article.
