Hi Steve,

Suppose you want to change text in some column depending
on the data in data source, you can do it in ItemDataBound
event.

Dim itemType As ListItemType = e.Item.ItemType
If itemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem OrElse itemType
= ListItemType.Item Then
' Get data from underlying data source
Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem,
DataRowView)
Dim cell As TableCell = e.Item.Cells(colIndex)
If drv(colindex) = (today's event) Then
cell.Text = "Today"
cell.BackColor = Color.Red
End If
End If

The ItemDataBound will automatically loop thru whole rows
