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;
