Hi,

       The little code you show looks ok.  Are you sure you are loading the
right tablestyle?

I am binding a datatable to a WinForms grid control but for some reason the
GridTableStyle is being ignored, the data just displays as if no TableStyle
was set up

I have also tried changing the DataTable TableName in code before the code
below - no effect.
The  data displayed is correct, just the formatting is wrong

SubAreasAtDate is a DataTable and dgLicensedBlocks is the data grid

hear are the two lines:-
    dgLicensedBlocks.DataSource = SubAreasAtDate
    dgLicensedBlocks.TableStyles(0).MappingName = SubAreasAtDate.TableName

I have also tried:-
    dgLicensedBlocks.DataSource = SubAreasAtDate
    dgLicensedBlocks.TableStyles.Clear()
    dgLicensedBlocks.TableStyles.Add(Me.DataGridTableStyle2)
    dgLicensedBlocks.TableStyles(0).MappingName = SubAreasAtDate.TableName

Equivalent code works fine on 8 other datagrids in the app.

any ideas?

Have you checked the mappnig names of your DataGridColumnStyles to be sure
they reflect the names of fields in the DataTable?  You didn't show your code
for setting up these and adding them to the TableStyle Collection.

Thanks all,
i put a handler on the mappingname changed event and found another bit of
code was butting in and changing it
