The following examples demonstrates how to use property element syntax to apply a card-view layout, with the normal-color Aero theme, to a grid.

XAML
Copy Code 
<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
  <Grid.Resources>
    <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                     Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                      Path=Orders}"/>
  </Grid.Resources>
   <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
     <xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
        <xcdg:CardView>
           <xcdg:CardView.Theme>
              <xcdg:ZuneNormalColorTheme/>
           </xcdg:CardView.Theme>
        </xcdg:CardView>
     </xcdg:DataGridControl.View>
   </xcdg:DataGridControl>
</Grid>
VB.NET
Copy Code 
Dim view As New CardView()
view.Theme = New ZuneNormalColorTheme()
dataGridControl.View = view
C#
Copy Code 
CardView view = new CardView();
view.Theme = new ZuneNormalColorTheme();
dataGridControl.View = view;
