Code Behind:

public sealed class GridStyle : StyleSelector
   {

       public GridStyle()
       {
       }
       public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
       {

           if (item is dataitem)
           {

               dataitem = item as dataitem;
               if (dataitem.Status == "Unread")
               {
                   Style BackGroundStyle = new Style();
                   Style bgstyle = new Style(typeof(GridViewRow));
                   Setter setBackground = new Setter(GridViewRow.BackgroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush( Color.FromArgb(255,255,0,0)  ));
                   bgstyle .Setters.Add(setBackground);
                   return bgstyle ;
               }

           }
           return new Style();
       }

   }
