In a datagrid, you can set it so the alternating lines are a different color.

In ASP .Net, can you do this same thing to a list box?

Also, what would be a good book to buy that would tell me the properties of all these controls, and what they mean?

Core reference of VB .Net my MS Press?

Thanks

Unfortunately, no.

I've learned from experiece here that anything using the <ASP:LISTITEM object cannot be assigned styles from ASP.NET

As a work-around, I have managed to do so with JavaScript, but it's more work usually than it's worth.

Ok, I guess I really need to bone up on Java script and HTML. The ASP tools are nice, but not enough for what I need.

On a differant topic, when I post data to my web page, a new page is created.

Is it possible for me to just clear the list box I have, then post new data to the same web page?

If so, how?

Thanks!

lstBox.items.clear will clear the list box.

Thanks Lord_Rat, that works fine.

What about reposting the same page and not getting a new page everytime I repost to the list box.

Is that possible?

Not sure what you mean??

By default, ASP.NET should repost to the same page...??
