<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

    <title></title>

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"

            OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333">

            <Columns>

                <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" />

                <asp:BoundField DataField="Branch" HeaderText="Branch" />

                <asp:BoundField DataField="City" HeaderText="City" />

            </Columns> 

            <HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />

            <RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />

        </asp:GridView>

       

    </div>

    </form>

</body>

</html>

C# Codes :

using System.Data;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

 

public partial class GridView : System.Web.UI.Page

{

    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection( @"Data Source=JITESH-PC\SQL;Initial

                                                                              Catalog=db_Student;Integrated Security=True");

 

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        if (!IsPostBack)

        {

            BindGridView();

        }

    }

    //method for binding GridView

    protected void BindGridView()

    {

        DataTable dt = new DataTable ();        

        SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter( "Select name,branch,city from tbl_student" , con);

        con.Open();

        da.Fill(dt);

        con.Close();

 

        if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)

        {

            GridView1.DataSource = dt;

            GridView1.DataBind();

        }

    }

 

    protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

    {

        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

        {

            if (e.Row.Cells[1].Text == "ECE")

            {

                // change the color

                e.Row.Cells[1].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

            }

        }

    }

}
