I coded the following to have a DGV Column header appear as specified.

Code:
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleCenter
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Font = New Font("Times New Roman", 11, FontStyle.Bold)
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red
            .ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightSteelBlue
What I got was this:

Name: Headers.jpg Views: 529 Size: 7.7 KB

So I have apparently done this wrong, but I am at a loss as to why the color and backcolor failed to execute.
