Answer 1

protected void dlCategory_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e) 
{
    Label Label1 = e.Item.FindControl("Label1") as Label;
    if (LblCat != null)
    {
        string id = ((System.Data.DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row["ProductCategory_Id"].ToString();

        if (Request.QueryString["ProductCategory_Id"] == id)
        {
            Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
    }
}
