Hi there,

I'm sure there's some simple method I'm missing, but here's my problem:

How can I change a row's background color based on the value of data in that row? (E.g. In a grid listing an inventory of parts, change the background of the rows that have 0 parts in stock.)

It seems relatively easy to do in WPF since you have access to RelativeSource.Self in the style templates, but AFAIK that's not available in Silverlight.

I'd thought about iterating through the grid manually or harnessing the OnLoadingRow event, but the former is cumbersome and the latter doesn't even seem to be an option for the Xceed DataGrid.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Hi JIbach,

The DataContext of a DataRow should be the user object. So a quick solution would be to do a Style on DataRow that assignes the Background property to a value that is the result of a Converter.

You can assign the Style implicitly or use the DataGridControl.RowStyle property.

Problem solved! I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

Thanks!
