Answer 1

try the following (in RowDataBound method of GridView):

protected void GridViewUsers_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    // this will only change the rows backgound not the column header 

    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        e.Row.Cells[0].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightCyan; //first col
        e.Row.Cells[1].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black; // second col
    }
}
