Implicit Styling

The DataGrid enables you to style its specific inner elements by using its implicit styling feature.

Setup

All examples in this article will use the setup shown in the following example.

Populate the DataGrid

• C#

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page 
{ 
    public MainPage() 
    { 
        this.InitializeComponent(); 
 
        var collection = new List<Data>(); 
 
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
        { 
            collection.Add(new Data() { Category = "Category " + i, Value = i }); 
        } 
        this.DataContext = collection; 
    } 
} 
 
public class Data 
{ 
    public string Category { get; set; } 
 
    public double Value { get; set; } 
} 

DataGridHoverControl

The following example shows how to change the appearance of a cell or row (depending on the current SelectionUnit) when the mouse hovers over the element.
