[Solved] Weird cell vertical alignment

[Edward]

Please see the attached screenshot.  Essentially some cell is aligned at the top, while some cell is aligned in the middle.

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" x:Key="CustomCellStyle">
    <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>

Code in question:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding pplName, Converter={StaticResource NameConverter}}" CellStyle="{StaticResource CustomCellStyle}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Relationship" DataMemberBinding="{Binding defRelationship.desc1}" CellStyle="{StaticResource CustomCellStyle}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Gender" DataMemberBinding="{Binding pplName.defGender.desc1}" CellStyle="{StaticResource CustomCellStyle}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Age" DataMemberBinding="{Binding pplName.birthDate, Converter={StaticResource BirthdateAgeConverter}}" CellStyle="{StaticResource CustomCellStyle}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Lives With Client"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding livesWithClient, Converter={StaticResource TriStateConverter}, ConverterParameter=Text}" CellStyle="{StaticResource CustomCellStyle}"  />

NameConverter just convert the entity into a display name (return as string)
BirthdateAgeConverter calcualtes age from birthdate (return as string)
TriStateConverter convert a bool? value into string

Hello Edward,

 

As I can see from the attached picture you have applied our Windows7 theme to RadGridView.
Indeed the styles we are using are theme specific.
If you want to apply a simple style in Silverlight based on some theme you should follow this pattern:

<Style x:Key="style1" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" telerik:StyleManager.BasedOn="Windows7">
        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>

I have just test this behavior and everything works fine by my side.
May you please check the attached project and let me know how it differs from yours?

All the best,
Vanya Pavlova
