Actually, I converted all of the styles to css classes because of the fact that the styles generated from the skin become inline styles in the grid output, really bloating the size of the grid html output.Thus I would only control the class name from the skin file. Here is my changes :
SKIN FILE:
<asp:GridView runat="server" CssClass="tableView" GridLines="None" AutoGenerateColumns="False" EmptyDataText="no data">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="tableViewHeader" />
<FooterStyle CssClass="tableViewFooter" />
<RowStyle CssClass="tableViewRow" />
<EditRowStyle CssClass="tableViewEditRow" />
<SelectedRowStyle CssClass="tableViewSelectedRow" />
<PagerStyle CssClass="tableViewPager" />
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="tableViewAlternatingRow" />
</asp:GridView>
CSS:
..tableView {
color:#333333;
border-collapse:collapse;
white-space:nowrap;
}
..tableView caption {
background-color: #5D7B9D;
color: White;
font-size: 16pt;
font-weight:bold;
}
..tableView td{
padding-right: 3px;
white-space:nowrap;
}
..tableViewHeader, .tableViewFooter{
background-color:#5D7B9D;
color:White;
font-weight:bold;
}
..tableViewRow{
background-color:#F7F6F3;
color:#333333;
}
..tableViewEditRow{
background-color:#999999;
}
..tableViewSelectedRow{
background-color:#E2DED6;
font-weight:bold;
color:#333333;
}
..tableViewPager{
background-color:#284775;
color:White;
text-align:center;
}
..tableViewAlternatingRow{
background-color:White;
color:#284775;
}
Tim,
Very cool. Thanks for letting us know.

Actually, I figured out a compromise. Here is the gridview format in the skin file :
<asp:GridView runat="server" CssClass="tableView" CellPadding="1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" EmptyDataText="no data">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" CssClass=".tableFooter" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#E2DED6" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
</asp:GridView>
The gridview tag actually only sets the class name. Then in the css :
.tableView {
color:#333333;
border-collapse:separate;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.tableView caption {
background-color: #5D7B9D;
color: White;
font-size: 16pt;
font-weight:bold;
}
