[Solved] Formatting cell text

[Bill Jindrich]

I have the need to format the text in certain cells in my gridView to be colored Red, based on certain rules. I already have a converter function for this column, so I assumed that I could use that, to return a TextBlock, but that doesn't work. Here's a snip of my XAML:
...

 

 

<Controls:RadGridView.Columns>

 

 

 

 ...

 

 

    <Controls:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding dueDate, Converter={StaticResource dateConverter}}" Header="Due Date" DataFormatString=" {0:dd/MM/yyyy}" TextWrapping="Wrap" IsReadOnly="True" UniqueName="dueDate"/>

In my dateConverter.Convert() function I tried returning a formatted TextBlock instead of a String - didn't work. What's the easiest way to accomplish this?  Thanks in advance!
