>OK, a couple of new thoughts. Your code is actually creating table styles with fixed values. DataGridTableStyles are added to a collection of the grid and can be changed at runtime. What I have done in my applications is create the different table styles I intend to use and then just dynamically change which one I want. So for instance you could just create your table styles for each of your grids at design time and then just switch between them at runtime. Here is a method I use in one of my apps to switch between styles.

Ok, one more question:

Here

> // Add these to the Grids collection
> dgMyGrid.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle1);
> dgMyGrid.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle2);

can you do instead

> dgMyGrid.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle1);
> dgMyDifferentGrid.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle1);

in other words, apply the same tablestyle to two different grids?
