Thanks to everyone for your reply.
I know that this is a bug but wasn't sure if Microsoft fixed the bug or not.

*WAS* a bug ! :-)
In the previous example, I used a <SELECT directly:
<select name="DDL1" id="DDL1" size="10">
...but ASP.NET renders a dropdownlist control as a select, so there's
no problem getting a dropdownlist to render its contents in different colors
.
I modified the example so it uses an ASP.NET dropdownlist control:
http://asp.net.do/test/dropdowncolor3.aspx
DDL1.Items.Add(New ListItem(ds.Tables(0).Rows(i)("UnitPrice"), ds.Tables(0).
Rows(i)("ProductID")))
If ds.Tables(0).Rows(i)("UnitPrice") <= 40 Then
DDL1.Items(i).Attributes.Add("style", "color:red")
Else
DDL1.Items(i).Attributes.Add("style", "color:green")
End If
Next
That, and changing the <SELECT to :
<asp:DropDownList id="DDL1" size="10" runat="server" />
...produces the exact same HTML as the previous example.
View the source for
http://asp.net.do/test/dropdowncolor2.aspx
and
http://asp.net.do/test/dropdowncolor3.aspx
to verify that.

Juan,
Thanks for your reply.
The issue that I have is I am updating the list box items color based on the
selection made in a calendar field. When the user selects a date in the
calendar field, the list box items are color coded. I am updating the listbo
x
items in the Calendar_SelectionChanged event but I don't see the color
changing.
Any ideas!!
Thanks!
