Selecting specific column in RowDataBound

Question

I am trying to make it so that if there is a cell in a specific column that doesn't contain a value, i want that cell to change colour.

I don't currently have any example code that i can show but i would be grateful if anyone can help.

Your RowDataBound Event should like this

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            if (e.Row.Cells[0].Text == "open")
            {
                e.Row.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            }
            else if (e.Row.Cells[0].Text == "close")
            {
                e.Row.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
            }
            else
            {
                e.Row.Cells[0].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
            }
        }
    }
