Please add onrowdatabound="GridCall_RowDataBound" to gridview and add following in cs code

C#

protected void GridCall_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
   {
      if (((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblStatus")).Text == "hold")
      {
         e.Row.Cells[1].ForeColor= System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
      }
      else if (((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblStatus")).Text == "unsolved")
      {
         e.Row.Cells[1].ForeColor= System.Drawing.Color.Red;
      }
   }
}

hi,
you can do it like this.

ASP.NET

// add RowDataBound event to your gridview
<asp:gridview id="GridCall" onrowdatabound="GridCall_RowDataBound" ...>
...
</asp:gridview>

C#

//server side
protected void GridCall_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
         Label lblStatus= (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblStatus");
         if(lblStatus.Text == "hold")
         {
              lblStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
         }
         else if(lblStatus.Text == "unsolved")
         {
              lblStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
         }
    }
}

hope it helps.
