Colorize Rows in DataGrid other than alternating

[MattC]

Hi,

I have place the following code in my ItemDataBound event:

The problem I have is that when I select a row for editing using the edit
command it no longer changes the CSSClass to
the one specified in SelectedItemStyle.

TIA

MattC

private void _timesheetentriesgrid_ItemDataBound(object sender,
DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.Item )
{
ImageButton ib = (ImageButton)e.Item.FindControl("_tdel");
ib.Attributes.Add("onclick","return confirm('Are you sure you wish to
delete?');");

string thisday =
((TimesheetActivityEntry)e.Item.DataItem).EntryDate.DayOfWeek.ToString();

//test to colorise by day
if(thisday != CurrentDay)
{
CurrentDay = thisday;
Altenator = !Altenator;
}

if(Altenator == true)
e.Item.CssClass = "gridline";
else
e.Item.CssClass = "gridlinealt";
}

My DataGrid it declared:

<aspataGrid id="_tgrid" CssClass="grid" Runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" ShowFooter="True">
<AlternatingItemStyle
CssClass="gridlinealt"></AlternatingItemStyle>

ViewState properties:

public string CurrentDay
{
get
{
if(ViewState["entryday"] == null)
ViewState["entryday"] = String.Empty;

return ViewState["entryday"].ToString();

set{ ViewState["entryday"] = value; }

ViewState["onoff"] = false;

return Convert.ToBoolean(ViewState["onoff"]);
}
