Tim thanks for your response. I have a very simple datagrid
implementation and yes, simply changing the objects in the datagrid
from untyped to typed alters the behavior of the datagrid with respect
to the look of the selected row. Doesn't matter if I use the objects
returned from the server or just manufacture a collection of typed
objects.
So far I'm using the work-around of manufacturing untyped objects.
