Yikes - Repeater Row Color change needed

OK- I'm a little slow...
I'm using the so-called "Helper Function" for this and it works fine.
I was trying to embed the function logic in the designer page and it was causing me problems.

I really display the ItemDataBound event stuff. Far too tedious to cast into DbDatarecords and the like and I have to make each column it's own control in the designer. The "Helpers" make this really simple.

//In the CodeBehind page...
protected string FormatColorRow(string theData)
{
switch (theData)
{
case "F":
return "style='Font-weight:bold'";
case "I":
return "style='BACKGROUND-COLOR:Gainsboro'";
default: // case "M":
return null;
}
}
// In the designer page
<asp:Repeater ID="PerformanceRepeater" Runat="server" EnableViewState="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr <%# FormatColorRow((((DbDataRecord)Container.DataItem)["EntityTyp"]).ToString()) %<td nowrap width="20%">
<%# ((DbDataRecord)Container.DataItem)["EntityNme"] %>'>
</td

you inspiring me.

in Code Behind. VB
public function SetBgColor (byval thedate as string) as string
 select case
 case "F"
 return "blue"
 end select
end function
in aspx
<asp:repeater bla..bla...>
 <itemtemplate>
 <tr bgcolor=<%# SetBgColor(Container.DataItem("EntityTyp").ToString)%>
 </tr>
 </itemtemplate>
</asp:repeater>

this work for me
