Background color on textfield, color defined in datasource.

malbrigt · Post by **malbrigt** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:04 am

I need to set the background-color of a textfield with a color given from my datasource. The textfield (datasource value) is on a databand.

I'm using the latest prerelease, designing with WebDesigner.Silverlight.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Can you provide any sample in which format colors stored in your database? For example: Blacm, Red or 0xffffff or somethin also?

Thank you.

Thanks for replying.

I'm using rgb hex values for colors (0xRRGGBB), if there's a more convenient format I can change the data source XML.

Hello,

You can use the following code in the BeforePrint event of databand, for example:

Code: Select all

Text1.Brush = new StiSolidBrush(Color.FromArgb((int)(0xFF000000 | DataSource.ColorField)));

Please check the report sample in the attachment.

Thank you.
