The way I did that is to override the Paint event of the DataGridColumnStyle
class. Couple things to note. There are several overloaded subs to deal
with, most just call a simpler version in the end. The example I have below
doesn't bold the font, it just changes the back/fore color but the brush is
what you need do the bold to I believe. Hope this helps.
