How to change button background color based on database boolean field in ASP.NET using VB.NET?

Question

I want to change the button's background color based on the "Status" field in my database. Where False = Green and True = Red .

I'm using ASP.NET but I don't know how to do it, because I can only access the database from the '.aspx.vb' files.

You can change the background color of Buttons like this.

If (Convert.ToBoolean(reader("status")) = true) Then
    Button1.BackColor = Color.Red
Else
    Button1.BackColor = Color.Green
End If

This snippet's usage is based on looping the Database values with a DataReader .
