Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to declaratively set the ItemStyle property on the BoundField objects used to display FirstName and LastName data in a DetailsView control. The DetailsView control has the AutoGenerateRows property set to false, which enables it to display a subset of the data returned by the SelectCommand property.

Remarks

The ItemStyle property governs the appearance of any text data displayed by a type derived from DataControlField. For example, when you bind a BoundField control to text data, you can use the ItemStyle property to alter the appearance of the text that is displayed.
