Is there a way to change the back or fore color on a ListBox/Columlist object? I've been trying to use the forecolor or backcolor property but it changes the entire columlist and I need only the row with a specific condition to be a different color. Any tip is appreciated.

TIA,
ricardo

Thanks, but the issue is in VB not ASP. I know how to do it in ASP. I was looking for a VB answer. It seems that it is not supported at this moment. Thanks all for you replies.
