Question

I want to change a sub string forecolor in my gridview.

I tried something like this:

   TaskGridView.Rows[i]
               .Cells[j + 2]
               .Text.Substring(firstInd, length)
               .ForeColor =System.Drawing.Color.DarkSalmon;

but there is no ForeColor attributes at String Class

How can I do this?

You will have to add the html to your string yourself, via a span and a style tag
eg:

TaskGridView.Rows[i].Cells[j + 2].Text =     
    TaskGridView.Rows[i].Cells[j + 2].Text.Substring(0,firstInd) + 
    "<span style=\"color:salmon\">" + 
    TaskGridView.Rows[i].Cells[j + 2].Text.Substring(firstInd, length) + 
    "</span>"
