<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="S.No." ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">

<%#Container.DataItemIndex+1%>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

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

protected void gvCustomres_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

{

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

{

int age =Convert.ToInt32( e.Row.Cells[3].Text);

if (age >= 35)

{

e.Row.BackColor =System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#4F81BD");

e.Row.ForeColor =System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFFFFF");

}
