Can you post some code. With this being a website my initial thought is to just add a css class so that way you style it differently.

But obviously without seeing what you've done/how you've implemented what you are talking about i have no clue where to start.

Off the top of my head there are 5 ways i can think of doing what you are asking.

1) Css class
2) Add style attribute at run time with background color based on requirement

so on and so forth

Solution 3

C#

DateTime _dt1 = Convert.ToDateTime(GridView1.Rows[0][6]);
DateTime _dt2 = Convert.ToDateTime(DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
if (_dt1 < _dt2)
{
    GridView1.Rows[0][6].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}

There's no good in getting the current DateTime (Now), converting it to a string and parsing it back to a DateTime. Just compare to DateTime.Now instead.

And use a code block (FTFY).
