set cell color while rendered in a datagrid

I use the code: <asp:BoundColumn DataField="EFF_END_DT"
SortExpression="EFF_END_DT" HeaderText="Effective End"
DataFormatString="{0:d}">
<ItemStyle ForeColor= '<% # MyColor(
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "EFF_END_DT"))%>'></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
to have red date is it is over and blue if not!
But I get an error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30676: 'DataBinding' is not an event of
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableItemStyle'.
how can I resolve this?i think your trying to user the OnItemDataBound method
In this method you can access each row of your datagrid, and from there
determine if the date should be read or not.
in the .aspx page
<asp:DataGrid id="MyGrid" OnItemDataBound="MyGrid_OnItemDataBound" ....
then in the .cs page
public void MyGrid_OnItemDataBound(object Sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
//From here you can access your bound column and set the colors
}

Thanks! that was helpful.
Would you know why if the results is 2 rows the event fires 4 times
2 times with the value I axpect an 2 with " "
my vb is:
Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.ItemDataBound
Debug.WriteLine(e.Item.Cells(6).GetType.ToString) 'always
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell
Debug.WriteLine(e.Item.Cells(6).Text)
End Sub
End Class

You can use
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse
e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then
' Your code here
End If
