Using RowDataBound is frequently the best way. Here's a quick example that changes the row color based on the status of a CheckBoxField.

VB

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
        If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
            Dim cb As CheckBox = CType(e.Row.Cells(1).Controls(0), CheckBox)
            If (cb.Checked = False) Then
                e.Row.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightYellow
                e.Row.Cells(0).ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            Else
                e.Row.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
                cb.Enabled = True
            End If
        End If
End Sub
