Datagrid: aligning a template column

[d[ - - ]b]

Hi,

Is it possible to align a template column? Tried align, textalign and
itemstyle (but I think that one is for the whole grid?), and nothing works.
It's a simple datagrid, but one field is a dollar ($) value, so I've had to
do a TemplateColumn so that I could make it have the '$'-sign and the
decimal places, but it's aligned to the left which is kinda ugly. Any ideas
how to change this column alone or another way to do this?

Many thanks,
Naomi

What i have done is create another table inside the TD


public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control container){
CheckBox lc = new CheckBox();
lc.EnableViewState = true;
lc.DataBinding += new EventHandler(BindCol);
Literal startLC = new Literal();
startLC.Text = "<TABLE width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0
cellpading=0><TR><TD align=center>";
Literal endLC = new Literal();
endLC.Text = "</TD></TR></TABLE>";
container.Controls.Add(startLC);
container.Controls.Add(lc);
container.Controls.Add(endLC);
}

Hope it Helps!
