This class is used to customize the binding and appearance of a DataGrid. While the default implementation will automatically create appropriate tables and columns for your data source, you can take more control by adding this information by hand.

You do this through the DataGrid.TableStyles property. For each table in your data source that you want to display in the grid, you create a DataGridTableStyle object. First, you can set the data table to which this object is bound through the MappingName property. You can then independently control the colors, grid lines, widths, and heights for which you set defaults in the parent grid, before adding DataGridColumnStyle objects to the GridColumnStyles collection that represent each column in that table.
