Answer 1

below will change the color of row

  if(Condidtion)
  {
      e.Row.BackColor =somecolor;
  } 

Answer 2

Your code is specifically selecting one textBox. If you want to apply the condition to all the elements in the row you need to iterate through the controls on the row rather than selecting one and run that condition on each.

It would probably be easier to do this in JavaScript because drawing on a grid and maintaining state between postbacks is more complex.

Answer 3

you can set background color like this

rows[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.RoyalBlue;

or you can set your defined color like bellow

rows[i].BackColor = "#fff23";
