Is it possible to represent a custom coloring feature based on a particular expression. Similar to generic filter feature provided by GDBG. Recently, our users came out with a list of requirement where most of them were related to individual cell coloring that are driven based on simple logical condition.

We can certainly hard code individual cell color settings, but if there a generic feature then it would have given complete libery to come out with their own color codes based on their custom rules and not dependent on developers.

There is no built in support for coloring individual cells according to some kind of condition in a GriddataBoundGrid.

To color individual cells in a GridDataBoundGrid, you must use the PrepareViewStyleInfo event.

There you can use e.RowIndex, e.ColIndex and e.Style to decide what value to set to e.Style.BackColor. So, you could evaluate some user specified condition at this point to conditionally color a cell in PrepareViewStyleInfo.
