Changing the Grid's Font Style

You may want to update the font style that appears in DataGrid for Silverlight when the control is run. For example, you may want to change the style of the grid, an element of which is the font style, to match your application's appearance.

At Design Time

To change the font style, complete the following steps:

1.   Click the C1DataGrid control once to select it.

2.   Navigate to the Properties window and click the drop-down arrow next to the FontFamily property and choose Times New Roman.

3.   Navigate to the Properties window and click the drop-down arrow next to the FontSize property and choose 10.

In XAML

To change the font style, add FontFamily="Times New Roman" FontSize="10" to the <c1:C1DataGrid> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1:C1DataGrid Name="c1datagrid1" Height="180" Width="250" FontFamily="Times New Roman" FontSize="10" />

In Code

To remove alternating row colors and set it so all rows appear white, add the following code to your project:

      Visual Basic

      C#

What You've Accomplished

Run the application and observe that all rows in the grid appear in the Times New Roman font.
