change color of every other record in datalist

is it possible to change the apperance (font/color and so on) of every record that is retrieved from SQL when binding to a datalist in ASP.NET?

if so - how?

currently, it just looks pretty plain, i am going to have things like guestbooks/private messages/forum/news all using the same layout using datalist and would be nice to jazz it up

Use a Repeater Control and change the ItemTemplate and AlternateItemTemplate HTML Templates :)

...or use the datalist ItemStyle and AlternatingItemStyle properties.
