setting the font color to red for Dropdownlist control list item

Hi,
I am trying to change the font color for the items in a dropdownlist control
at run time using ASP.NET 2.0.
DropDownList1.Items[i].Attributes.Add("style", "color:red");
But when I run the application, I don't see any color change.
I am using Visual Studio 2005, ASP.NEt 2.0.
Any help would be great!On Mar 19, 4:06 pm, Rekha <R...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

If you want the color for the entire list to be changed, then (in C#):
DropDownList1.ForeColor = Color.Red;

It's a known bug, it doesn't work.
Something as simple as :
<option style="color: red;">Something</option>
...works.
Also, you can use a Listbox instead of a DropdownList if you want to do it p
rogrammatically.
They have roughly the same functionality, anyway.
myconnection = New SqlConnection("Server=YourServer;Integrated Security=True
;Database=Northwind")
myda = New SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Products ", myconnection)
ds = New DataSet()
myda.Fill(ds, "AllTables")
dim i as Integer
For i = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
list1.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
list1.Items(i).Attributes.Add("style", "color:red")
Else
list1.Items(i).Attributes.Add("style", "color:green")
End If
Next

Use anything you'd like for your conditions...
