how to align the cells in a datagridview to the right in c#.net?

I need to align some of the columns in a datagridview to the right. But I can't find any property to control the alignment. How can i accomplish that?
I'm programming in c#.net (visual studio 2005).

Either select your DataGridView in thedesigner window and set the property "RowStyle|HorizontalAlign" to "Right" or change the HTML code and add "align=right" to the tags.

thanks, Peter.
I forgot to say that it's windows forms, not asp.net, so the solution doesn't work unfortunately.

Oh sorry, I am deep in ASP.Net development at the moment so my brain was focussed on this! Sorry!

For a windows app, look at RowTemplate property of the GridView component, expand the sub nodes and click on the [...] for DefaultCellStyle. This will open the CellStyle Builder. Set the Alignment property in the Layout section.

thank you Peter, that worked.
I found that the equivalent by code is:

this.dataGridView1.Columns["CustomerName"].DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

and the points go to..... Peter!!! :)
