  Alignment in DataGrid Control

  Nov 17, 2008 08:48 AM | LINK

  Hi
  In my silverlight Application i am creating DataGrid Columns at runtime as below

   

  textColumn = new DataGridTextColumn();
  textColumn.IsReadOnly = true;
  textColumn.Header = "Current Vehicles Site Enabled";
  textColumn.ElementStyle = Resources["AlignCenter"] as Style;
  //textColumn.CellStyle = Resources["AlignCenter"] as Style;
  textColumn.Binding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding("CurrentVehicles_SiteEnabled");

   

  I want to add the Horizontal Align to Right. I have tried as below

   

    <Style x:Key="AlignCenter" TargetType="DataGridCell">
              <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue"/>
              <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Right"/>
          </Style>

   

  But still it is not working.

  Any help.

  I am using Silverlight 2 Release.

  
  Thanks

  you have to set the CellStyle

  <UserControl xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.Page"

  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

  Width="400" Height="300">

  <UserControl.Resources>

  <Style x:Key="AlignCenter" TargetType="data:DataGridCell">

  <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Right" />

  </Style>

  </UserControl.Resources>

  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

  <data:DataGrid Width="400" Height="400" AutoGenerateColumns="False" x:Name="datagrid1"></data:DataGrid>

  </Grid>

  </UserControl>

  Thanks it is working fine.

  When I put this code in the Usercontrol then it is working fine, but When move the code to the app.xaml then it is not working. How to make to global so that I can make use of the same in all the pages.

  Thanks

  Hi,

  If you want to refer the styles in the app.xaml, you can use the code like this: App.Current.Resources["AlignCenter"] as Style

  If you use this  code: Resources["AlignCenter"] as Style; which only can get the locally defined resource.
