Column Header Style not applying in Silverlight 4

[BENOIT CHEVALIER]

Hi,

I am hoping you can guide me in the right direction. I have a requirement whereby the color of the grid column header must match up with the color of the legend in a corresponding graph.

I have the following code which seems to do the trick, however, when a user running Silverlight 4 runtime (The app targets silverlight 4) sees the grid the colors are not displayed. Please see attached images.

var column = new GridViewDataColumn();
column.Header = graph.DisplayName;
column.DataMemberBinding = new Binding(graph.ValueBinding);
column.DataFormatString = "{0:#.##}";

// Bind Color of Foreground
var foregroundBinding = new Binding("Stroke");
foregroundBinding.Source = graph;

Style headerStyle = new Style(typeof(GridViewHeaderCell));
headerStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewHeaderCell.ForegroundProperty, foregroundBinding));
column.HeaderCellStyle = headerStyle;

radGridView.Columns.Add(column);

Is there anyway I can achieve the required result on both versions of SIlverlight?

Hi Benoit,

Generally, Silverlight 4 does not support bindings in Styles. You could try the approach illustrated in this article.
