Binding doesn't happen automatically for template columns, you need to handle your own binding. Have you created the DataBinding event as suggested by the article? You can also manually handle the binding in the grid's ItemDataBound
event, which is not as elegant but works. Why don't you post the code for DataGridTemplate.
