Remarks

Dashboard items that support conditional formatting expose the FormatRules property, providing access to a collection of the DashboardItemFormatRule descendants.

To create a new rule, do the following.

Create the required condition (the FormatConditionBase descendant), specify its settings and assign the resulting object to the DashboardItemFormatRule.Condition property.
Use the DashboardItemFormatRule.Enabled property to specify whether the current format rule is enabled.
Make sure that the current DashboardItemFormatRule object is properly specified using the DashboardItemFormatRule.IsValid property.

Finally, add the created format rule to the FormatRules collection exposed by the dashboard item.
