Answer 1

i decided with the Paul Rowland solution and more one thing "if (e.Item.DataItem is DataRowView)":

    if ((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType ==                 ListItemType.AlternatingItem))
     {
       if (e.Item.DataItem is DataRowView)
       {
         DataRowView rowView = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
         String state = rowView[PutYourColumnHere].ToString();
         if (state.Equals("PutYourConditionHere"))
         {
           //your formating, in my case....
           e.Item.CssClass = "someClass";
         }
       }
     }
