Question

I have this simple piece of code on a windows form containing said DataGridView (dgvStatsTable) :

    public void LoadStatsTable(DataTable statsTable)
    {
        dgvStatsTable.DataSource = statsTable;

        var smallFont = new Font(dgvStatsTable.Font.FontFamily, dgvStatsTable.Font.Size * 0.67f);
        dgvStatsTable.Rows[0].Cells[0].Style.Font = smallFont;
        dgvStatsTable.InvalidateCell(0, 0);

        //dgvStatsTable.Invalidate();
        dgvStatsTable.Refresh();
    }

Once that function has been called, my DataGridView contains the correct data to see.
However, that style change that I wanted is not showing (first cell in top-right corner has to have smaller text).

Why?

Is it because the table is set to a DataSource rather than building rows and columns?

Thanks!

The Solution to the problem was to write a handler for the DataGridView.CellFormatting Event

found in this MSDN article in the Setting Styles Dynamically section.
