Remarks

Use this property to provide a custom style for the footer of the DataGrid control. Common style attributes that can be adjusted include forecolor, backcolor, font, and content alignment within the cell. Providing a different style enhances the appearance of the DataGrid control.

The FooterStyle property of the DataGrid control inherits the style settings of the ControlStyle property. For example, if you specify a red font for the ControlStyle property, the FooterStyle property will also have a red font. This allows you to provide a common appearance for the control by setting a single style property. You can override the inherited style settings by setting the FooterStyle property. For example, you can specify a blue font for the FooterStyle property, overriding the red font specified in the ControlStyle property.

To specify a custom style for the footer section, place the <FooterStyle> tags between the opening and closing tags of the DataGrid control. You can then list the style attributes within the opening <FooterStyle> tag.

Note

The ShowFooter property must be set to true for this property to be visible.
