Setting Textbox Properties

I am trying to manipulate the textbox properties in my datagrid for
when I fire the Edit/Update from the EditCommandColumn. I have set a
few attributes such as:

Dim tbPhone As TextBox = CType(e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(0), TextBox)

tbPhone.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Solid
tbPhone.BorderWidth.Pixel(1)
tbPhone.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

When I run the application and click 'Edit' the attributes above are
not reflected in the textbox. They (textboxes) resort back to their
clunky default attributes.

Any suggestions?Will Lastname wrote:

My guess is that the attributes of the textbox are getting changed after
the textbox has already rendered. I would try applying the styles
before the textboxes render, such as in the OnItemDataBound event.

No problem. One thing to remember when doing this is to make sure you
are using the right ItemType within the event.

void OnItemDataBound(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.ItemType == EditItem)
{
do stuff...
}
}
