How can I change the color of gridview row based on value of cell?

I am trying to turn a row in a gridview red if a column has a value of 0. My code is attached. I'm told "Non-invocable member 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRow.DataItem' cannot be used like a method". How should I handle this?

Jeremy

protected void gvBeneficiary_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Row.DataItem("units_built") == 0)
  {
    e.Row.BackColor = Color.Red;
  }
}

check this link http://weblogs.asp.net/hpreishuber/archive/2006/01/09/434889.aspx

the VB.net code shows here

Protected Sub GridView1_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
   Dim lbl As Label = CType(e.Row.FindControl("lblPreis"), Label)
   If DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "unitprice") < 0D Then
      lbl.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red   End If

End If

End Sub
