ASP.NET: GRIDVIEW: How to strikeout the entire text in a row

Hi, I need to strikeout the entire text(even the whitespace between text/cells) in a row in the RowDataBound event of the GridView. Is it possible?

From stackoverflow

• Yes, you can put all your rows cell's content into <strike> tag. Example,

  row.Cell[0].Text = "<strike>cell content from row.DataItem</strike>";
  

  But it will only strike text in the cells. If you have cellpadding and cellspacing set to the row's table, then it might now look nice.

  renegadeMind : This just strikes out the text in the cell, i want to strikeout the entire row, even the whitespace between text/cells.

  Sachin Gaur : Those whitespace are there because of cellspacing, cellpadding, or margin applied to table. Send your HTML snippet of GridView, if possible.

• C#

  on RowDataBound event

  e.Row.Style.Value = "text-decoration:line-through;"
  

  this is how your GridView will be rendered, it works !

  <table>
  <tr style="text-decoration:line-through;">
  <td>some text</td>
  <td>some text</td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="text-decoration:line-through;">
  <td>some text</td>
  <td>some text</td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="text-decoration:line-through;">
  <td>some text</td>
  <td>some text</td>
  </tr>
  </table>
  

  renegadeMind : didn't work for me, maybe some other style is overriding it, am not sure.

  roman m : you can use firebug to see if styles get overridden, but since this style is inline, it should have the priority

  renegadeMind : i can see the style being applied for the row using developer toolbar, but it just doesn't seen to work!!

  renegadeMind : Thanks for the effort, but this still wont strikeout the entire text(even the white space between text/cells) in the row.

  renegadeMind : I've also tried this - e.Row.Font.Strikeout = true; but even this doesn't work!

  roman m : the only way to "strike out the white space between the cells" is to have TEXT (in form of  ) in it. you can also try applying a background image to the row with a line through the middle to mimic the empty space strikeout.

• can any one help me out with the answer
