I would suggest in most cases it is better not to have logic directly in the page. Inline code is generally harder to maintain. For example, you could create a base class and have a generic property, eg: which will return the correct alternate string.

Dim altRow As Boolean = False Private Function GetRowColor() As String Try Return If(altRow = False, "#fff", "#FCF3B2") Finally altRow = Not altRow End Try End Function wouldnt this be more efficient?

Dim altRow As Boolean = False
Private Function GetRowColor() As String
Try
Return If(altRow = False, “#fff”, “#FCF3B2″)
Finally
altRow = Not altRow
End Try
End Function

"silver" : "#fff" Looks like it ate part of my comment because of angle braces, the important part is, instead of a call to the method in the code behind GetRowColor(), you can use:

Container.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem ? “silver” : “#fff”

Checking the Container.ItemType will save you needing a method in the code behind to do this.
