Comparing Datagrid Columns

W

Will Chamberlain

I just created an application that displays data from 2 sources in a
datagrid. There are 2 repeaters nested in the datagrid (probably not the
best idea). The whole purpose of this application is to visually display
side-by-side data from these 2 sources so that the end-user can track
changes. What I am wanting to do now is to highlight, bold, etc... rows
where values are different.

Layout (currently have):
Column1(product) / Column2 (Source A) / Column3 (Source B)

Sample data (currently):
hairgel / 29.95 / 29.95
toothbrush / 29.95 / 39.95

I'd like to have:
hairgel / 29.95 / 29.95
toothbrush / 29.95 / <strong>39.95</strong>

The <strong /> wrapped around the 39.95 would indicate to the end-user
that there has been a change in price. What would be the easiest way to
go about comparing the values? Is there a way to get a datagrid row
count and loop through comparing column 1 and column 2's values?

If this sounds too confusing I will be more than happy to clarify.

Just use DataRow.RowState on binding relevant column...
