How to set font size, family and colour of listview in ASP.NET (C#)

So I have the following ListView1

[asp.net]

 <asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
            onprerender="ListView1_PreRender" 
            onselectedindexchanged="ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged">

To which I have tried to set the following properties through CSS

[css]

#ListView1
{
    color: White;
    font-family: Calibri;
}

But that did not work for some reason.

you can try the CssClass property 

.ListView1
{
    color: White;
    font-family: Calibri;
}

and then use it as 

<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
            onprerender="ListView1_PreRender"  CssClass= "ListView1"
            onselectedindexchanged="ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged">

You can style it more better if you use the ItemTemplate / LayoutTemplate as shown here

You could set the ClientIdMode to static to ensure that the ID of the server control doesn't change when it is rendered as html even if it is in a container or a master page.

 <asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" 
            onprerender="ListView1_PreRender" 
            onselectedindexchanged="ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged" ClientIdMode="Static">

runat='server' will change element IDs often times, appending the name of the class of the page. You can do two things to fix the issue:

1) Change the name of the ID selector in CSS to match what the ID is altered to be (which you figure out by doing a view source on the rendered page).

2) Apply a class to the element instead of using the ID.

The second one is probably better, as you can reuse that class on other pages without changing any CSS, and it's a bit more straightforward.
