Gamer GridView Theme
Here is another gridview theme I have been playing around with this weekend based on a general CNET GameSpot style. The CSS for the gridview has been put into its own file for this series of posts, so that I can change the look of a gridview quickly without changing the class names that have been assigned to it:
CSS links in Head tag:
<link href="StyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="GamerGridView.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Standard GridView declaration:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CssClass="GridViewStyle" DataKeyNames="CustomerID" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"
GridLines="None">
<Columns>
<!-- Your columns here -->
</Columns>
<FooterStyle CssClass="FooterStyle" />
<RowStyle CssClass="RowStyle" />
<EmptyDataRowStyle CssClass="EmptyRowStyle" />
<PagerStyle CssClass="PagerStyle" />
<SelectedRowStyle CssClass="SelectedRowStyle" />
<HeaderStyle CssClass="HeaderStyle" />
<EditRowStyle CssClass="EditRowStyle" />
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="AltRowStyle" />
</asp:GridView>
I tried a couple of different things on this version, and I am curious if they will work out well enough. In particular, the header styles are based on the links - so changing font sizes or wrapping text in the header will probably break the theme :-( I don't think I will spend much more time on this one, so I decided to go ahead and post it in the hopes that someone may find it useful.
Here's the contents of GamerGridView.css:
