[Solved] Best practice for changing text color based on data in radgrid?

[David]

I am converting an app to RadGrid controls, and I would like advice on the best way to convert some code that I had running in a DataGrid's RowDataBound event:

Private Sub gvAvailableTasks_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvAvailableTasks.RowDataBound

        If Not gvAvailableTasks.SelectedRow Is Nothing Then
            If gvAvailableTasks.SelectedRow.ID = e.Row.ID Then
                Exit Sub
            End If
        End If

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            Dim dd As DateTime
            dd = CType(e.Row.Cells(6).Text, DateTime)

            If dd < Date.Now Then
                e.Row.Cells(6).BackColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            Else

                If DateDiff(DateInterval.Hour, Date.Now, dd) < 5 Then
                    e.Row.Cells(6).BackColor = Drawing.Color.Orange
                ElseIf DateDiff(DateInterval.Hour, Date.Now, dd) < 9 Then
                    e.Row.Cells(6).BackColor = Drawing.Color.Yellow
                End If
            End If

            ' Alert message

            Dim s As String = e.Row.Cells(5).Text

            If s.Trim <> " " And s.Trim <> "" Then
                e.Row.Cells(5).BackColor = Drawing.Color.Yellow
            End If

        End If
    End Sub

Basically the code changes the color of the due date to let the user know what is late. The last bit changes the background color if an alert message exists.

Thanks for your help!

Protected Sub gvAvailableTasks_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs) Handles gvAvailableTasks.ItemDataBound
