Change color of GridView row

[David C]

I have a need to make a GridView row a different color (red) if a date
exists on the row. I assume I would do this in the OnDataBound event. I
know how to make a Cell(x) a different color but not a row. Thanks.

Here's some code I put together a while back as an additional example to
John's reply. Watch for wrap!

Sub doColor(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEven tArgs)

Dim test As New BoundColumn()

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowT ype.DataRow Then
Dim i9, i10 As Integer

If Int32.TryParse( e.Row.Cells(9). Text, i9) AndAlso i9 >= 45
Then
e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.L ightYellow
e.Row.Cells(9). ForeColor = Drawing.Color.R ed
e.Row.Cells(9). Font.Bold = True
End If

If Int32.TryParse( e.Row.Cells(9). Text, i9) AndAlso i9 < 0 Then
e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Y ellow
e.Row.Cells(9). ForeColor = Drawing.Color.R ed
e.Row.Cells(9). Font.Bold = True
End If

If Int32.TryParse( e.Row.Cells(10) .Text, i10) AndAlso i10 >=
60 Then
e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.L ightYellow
e.Row.Cells(10) .ForeColor = Drawing.Color.R ed
e.Row.Cells(10) .Font.Bold = True
End If

End If

End Sub
