Hello,

Please refer to this[^] MSDN documentation. Basically If you are using a DataGridTextColumn, you need to define the Style for the DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle.

XML

<DataGrid.Columns>               
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Wrapped & centered" Binding="{Binding field}">
        <DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
             <Style>                            
                 <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextWrapping" Value="Wrap" />
                 <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextAlignment" Value="Center"/>
             </Style>
         </DataGridTextColumn.ElementStyle>
    </DataGridTextColumn>
</DataGrid.Columns>

Hi Prasad,
Thanks for replying. The above is completely working good.
Could you please help me out in formatting the header text and its background. Like I want to make the header text alone to be bold and its background should be some color.

Please let me know the possible way to achieve.

Hello,

You can do this via HeaderStyle. Please see the MSDN link for more details. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.datagridcolumn.headerstyle.aspx).
