0	Hi You can loop through all the items. foreach (ListItem item in DropDownList1.Items) { //if you want to apply for some selected items check the condition on item.Text or item.Value based on your requirement. if (item.Text == "Some Value") { //Change font weight item.Attributes.CssStyle.Add("font-weight", "bold"); //Change font color item.Attributes.CssStyle.Add("color", "red"); } } * Please note that font-weight and font-size is not rendered properly in IE, you can see the difference in Firefox etc. So try to use the color property to distinguish.

Hi
You can loop through all the items.


foreach (ListItem item in DropDownList1.Items)

        {

            //if you want to apply for some selected items check the condition on item.Text or item.Value based on your requirement.

            if (item.Text == "Some Value")

            {

                //Change font weight 

                item.Attributes.CssStyle.Add("font-weight", "bold");

                //Change font color

                item.Attributes.CssStyle.Add("color", "red");

            }

        }
* Please note that font-weight and font-size is not rendered properly in IE, you can see the difference in Firefox etc. So try to use the color property to distinguish. 

Thanks,
