    Example
    All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
    The following example demonstrates how to use a PrintTableView and configure it to display a title in the page headers and the page number in the page footers. The elements added to these sections must be added as DataTemplates and will be repeated on each page. The Print method will be called in the button's Click event, whose implementation is not provided.The following example demonstrates how to change the default text displayed in the progress window when the Print or ExportToXps methods are called. The implementation of the PrintGrid method is not provided.To style a DataGridControl's PrintView, one should set it to a custom PrintTableView resource, defining a PageStyle into which you insert implicit styles for the print grid. For example, the following will turn all datacells in the PrintView DeepPink:Then, when you declare your DataGridControl:
