Implementation
1. How to define group header style of different levels.
Group header style can be defined using DataGrid.RowGroupHeaderStyle Property and the styles are applied to different levels based on the order of style tag. The first one is applied to the most top level, the second for the second level and so on.
2. How to vary group header style in one level.
In this sample, StackPanel is defined within the DataGrid.RowGroupHeaderStyle using Control.Template. The Background of StackPanel is binded to GroupHeaderName, and the background value is set based on GroupHeaderName using IValueConverter.
