In this article I am going to show how we can set WebGrid row back color at run time in MVC. Here are the steps,

Open Visual Studio, then create a New Project,

Below is my Data Table.

Now add a new controller.

Now write the following code in your EmployeeController,

code
  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.Linq;
  4. using System.Web;
  5. using System.Web.Mvc;
  7. namespace WebGrid_MVC_RowBackColor.Controllers
  8. {
  9. public class EmployeeController : Controller
  10. {
  11. // GET: Employee
  12. public ActionResult Index()
  13. {
  14. var employees = new List<Emp_Information>();
  15. using (CompanyDBEntities db = new CompanyDBEntities())
  16. {
  17. employees = db.Emp_Information.ToList();
  18. }
  19. return View(employees);
  20. }
  21. }
  22. }
Now add View Index.cshtml,
  1. @model List<WebGrid_MVC_RowBackColor.Emp_Information>
  2. @{
  3. ViewBag.Title = "Employee Listing";
  4. var grid = new WebGrid(source: Model, canPage: true, rowsPerPage: 10);
  5. grid.Pager(WebGridPagerModes.All);
  6. }
  7. @section scripts
  8. {
  9. <script>
  10. $(document).ready(function () {
  12. $("#content tbody tr").each(function (i, row) {
  13. var $actualRow = $(row);
  14. if ($actualRow.find('input.cityCheck[type=text]').val() == 'Banglore') {
  15. $actualRow.css('background-color', '#0094ff');
  16. }
  18. });
  19. });
  20. </script>
  21. }
  23. <style type="text/css">
  24. .webgrid-table {
  25. font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  26. font-size: 10pt;
  27. width: 100%;
  28. border-collapse: separate;
  29. border: solid 1px #ff6a00;
  30. background-color: white;
  31. }
  33. .webgrid-table td, th {
  34. border: 1px solid #ff6a00;
  35. padding: 3px 7px 2px;
  36. }
  38. .webgrid-header {
  39. background-color: #ff0000;
  40. color: #FFFFFF;
  41. padding-bottom: 4px;
  42. padding-top: 5px;
  43. text-align: left;
  44. }
  46. .webgrid-footer {
  47. }
  49. .webgrid-row-style {
  50. padding: 3px 7px 2px;
  51. }
  52. </style>
  54. <div id="content">
  55. @grid.GetHtml(
  56. tableStyle: "webgrid-table",
  57. headerStyle: "webgrid-header",
  58. footerStyle: "webgrid-footer",
  59. alternatingRowStyle: "webgrid-alternating-row",
  60. rowStyle: "webgrid-row-style",
  61. columns: grid.Columns(
  62. grid.Column(header: "Employee ID", format: @<text><div>@(item.EMP_ID)</div></text>),
  63. grid.Column(header: "Name", format: @<text><div>@(item.Name)</div></text>),
  64. grid.Column(header: "Manager Name", format: @<text><div>@(item.ManagerName)</div></text>),
  65. grid.Column(header: "Project Name", format: @<text><div>@(item.ProjectName)</div></text>),
  66. grid.Column(header:"City", format:@<text><input type="text" class="cityCheck" value="@item.City" /></text>)
  67. ))
  68. </div>
Set you startup controller in route.config,
  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.Linq;
  4. using System.Web;
  5. using System.Web.Mvc;
  6. using System.Web.Routing;
  8. namespace WebGrid_MVC_RowBackColor
  9. {
  10. public class RouteConfig
  11. {
  12. public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
  13. {
  14. routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
  16. routes.MapRoute(
  17. name: "Default",
  18. url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
  19. defaults: new { controller = "Employee", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
  20. );
  21. }
  22. }
  23. }
Now run your application:

application

If you change your check condition in the jQuery code like below:
  1. <script>
  2. $(document).ready(function () {
  4. $("#content tbody tr").each(function (i, row) {
  5. var $actualRow = $(row);
  6. if ($actualRow.find('input.cityCheck[type=text]').val() == 'Delhi') {
  7. $actualRow.css('background-color', '#0094ff');
  8. }
  10. });
  11. });
  12. </script>
