<syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="sfGrid" 
                       GridLinesVisibility="Both"

    {
        var dataGridRow = value as DataGridRow;
        var rowData = dataGridRow.DataRow.RowData;
        if (rowData == (dataGridRow.DataGrid.BindingContext as EmployeeViewModel).Employees[5])
            return Colors.LightBlue;
        else
            return Colors.White;
    }
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
