' Create a new template column.
Dim templateColumn As New DataGridTemplateColumn
templateColumn.Header = "Due Date"
templateColumn.CellTemplate = Me.Resources("dueDateCellTemplate")

If e.PropertyType Is GetType(Boolean) Then
e.Cancel = True

End Sub
private void dataGrid1_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, DataGridAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e)
