Answer : How to change color in datarow in gridview in Web Part??

you can do a foreach loop after the databind to check each gridviewrow. something like the following:

gr.DataSource = dtProjectList;
gr.DataBind();

foreach (GridViewRow gvr in gr.Rows)
{
if(gvr.Cells[0].Value.Text == "In Progress") //Cells[0] (replace with index of status)
{
gvr.BackColor = Color.Red;
}
}
