Is it WinForms DataGridView? In DataGridView one would wire to the CellPainting event. In the event handler, one would get a row from DataSource at index e.RowIndex, and set e.CellStyle.BackColor accordingly.

hi
i attempted to do this but when the cell was blank and this is the code i used, first i had to do

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDataBound

then i had to add the code

VB

'change the colour of the cells if cell value is null or "&ndsp;"
  If (e.Row.Cells(1).Text = "" Or e.Row.Cells(1).Text = "&nbsp;") Then
      e.Row.Cells(1).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Salmon
      importButtonEnabled = False
  End If

row.cell(1) was the second column in the datagrid

so for a guess your code maybe something like

VB

'change the colour of the cells if cell value is null or "&ndsp;"
  If (e.Row.Cells(1).Text = "certain value") Then
      e.Row.Cells(1).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.colour of your choice      importButtonEnabled = False
  End If

hope this helps some what
