Answer 1

The answer is in my comment to the original post:

http://groups.google.com/group/mvccontrib-discuss/browse_thread/thread/f872d298cc9d53dc

column.For(x => x.Surname).Attributes(x => {
    if(x.Item.Surname == "foo") {
        return new Dictionary<string, object> { { "style", "color:red"} };
    }
    return new Dictionary<string, object>();
});

Answer 2

if you still looking for solution:

" The above property of the MVCContrib grid also does the trick.

<%= Html.Grid(Model.Services).AutoGenerateColumns()
    .Columns(column => {
        column.For(a => Html.ActionLink("Editar", "Edit", new { id = a.Id }))
            .InsertAt(0).Encode(false)
            .CellCondition(x => 
                (x.CreatedBy==Membership.GetUser().UserName));
    })
    .Sort(Model.GridSortOptions)
    .Attributes(@class => "table-list")
    .Empty(Resources.NO_DATA_TO_DISPLAY)
%>

Hi, thanks! but I think that your answer is for conditional creation, and what I need was conditional formatting. I post a link to a solution from Jeremy too – Asymmetry
