you can try like this:

int x = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[7].Text.Trim());
   int y = Convert.ToInt32(e.Row.Cells[8].Text.Trim());

                if (x > y)
                {


                }
           else
              {

              }

Hi,
You need to use String.Compare method

string x = e.Row.Cells[7].Text.Trim();
string y = e.Row.Cells[8].Text.Trim();
int result=String.Compare(x, y, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
if(result>0) // x is greater than y
{

}
else if(result<0) // x is less than y
{

}
else // x is equal to y
{

}
