Problems fulling theming GridView controls...

[zerosleep]

I want to do this (some props removed intentionally):

..skin file:

<asp:GridView SkinID="GridThemeA">
<RowStyle CssClass="someClass" />
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="someAltClass" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyHeaderText">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="HeaderClass" />
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

..aspx file:

<asp:GridView SkinID="GridThemeA">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Literal Text='<%# Eval("someColumn") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Unfortunately, it seems that the page "themes" the grid correctly but
ignores the explicit ItemTemplate work in the .aspx page. The only
option I appear to have is to include all data binding within the
..skin. Which I think sucks -- because then my .skin is doing data work
and not just theme work. Maybe this is by design, but I want a
definitive answer before I stop pulling out my hair.

I tried using StylesheetTheme instead of Theme in the Page directive,
but that just makes the page duplicate the columns defined. So, I'd get
one themed column w/ no data and a duplicate column with data but no
theme.
