One option is a custom delegate (code with this one).

Another is to use the native event of the DataGrid ... ItemDataBound and set
the background at this time.

For the purpose of this explanation I'm assuming that you have a datagrid on a page called DataGrid1 and the dataitem bound to each row of the datagrid is of type "MyObject". You can attach the method below to the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid.

private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
MyObject obj = e.Item.DataItem as MyObject;
e.Item.CssClass = obj.IsActive ? "style1" : "style2";

//or

//e.Item.BackColor = obj.IsActive ? Color.Beige : Color.WhiteSmoke;
}


Hope that helps.
