Conditional format of cells in Excel with c#

Question

I have created a excel template with Visual Studio (c#) to fill the worksheet with some data.
On this worksheet I want to add some conditional formatting of the cells. I want the user of the template to fill in a "Yes" or a "No" and make the cell green / red depending on the value of the cell. Any idea how to do this?

I found a lot on the net about conditional formatting, but I can't figure out how to do this. :confused:

This article goives a good exmple for conditional formatting programmatically:

DD Says...Rick, I use this quite a lot, but if I borrow your brain, I have not found out a way of doing it for dates.
That is, if a date is over 60 days, I would like that cell highlighted.
I can only do it by a macro, not CondForming, unless you know better?

Dave, You can use Today()-60 with a "less than" rule. Rick

DD...Do you know that was so obvious it never occurred to me? :~
