See the DataGrid.TableStyles Property[^] documentation in the .NET Framework SDK for a detailed review of how to explicitly define table and column styles. For instance, if you use a DataSet (and assign the DataGrid.DataMember to the appropriate table name within the DataSet) or DataTable for the DataGrid.DataSource property, you create a new DataGridTableStyle with the MappingName set to the table (you can also set it to specially formatted names for non-DataSet data sources, but see the documentation for more information). You then add DataGridColumnStyles to the table style that map to your column names. You can specify captions, column widths, string formats (for numbers, dates, etc.), and more. You can also define your own. The VS.NET DataGrid designer also does a great job of helping you if you assign your DataSet at design-time to the DataGrid.DataSource (using the DataSet to create an instance of some strongly-typed DataSet defined in your current or dependent project). Even without, click on the "..." button next to the TableStyles property and explore.
