in C# asp.net

thanks for any help

this.MyGridView.RowDataBound += (s, ea) =>
{
 if (ea.Row.Cells[1].Text.Contains(string.Format("{0}/0{1}", DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month)))
 {
  ea.Row.BackColor = Color.Red;
 }
};
this.MyGridView.DataBind(); 

This does what you want.

Notice the string.format has a 0 which shouldn't be there. This is because DateTime.Now.Month returns 1 instead of 01.

[edit]

Noticed sometime ago that there's a better way to compare the date to your value using

if (ea.Row.Cells[1].Text.Contains(DateTime.Now.ToString(MM/dd)))

try using RowDataBound event of the grid to test the date column if (e.row.cell[1]=...) , and from there you can access the e.Row.BackColor= ...

In my opinion a good place to start, if you want to change design-settings of a datagridview programmatically is using the datagridview.CellFormatting-Event

        private void _dgvDb_CellFormatting(Object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e){
        if (e.Value != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(e.Value.ToString()))
        {
            switch (_dgvDb.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name)
            {
                case "YOUR_COLUMNNAME":
                    if("value==yourChosenValue"){

                    }
                break;
                case "else":
                }
         }
  }
