Binding Style for DataGrid Cells

My problem is simple. I have an datagrid and a bound item colection to it. The data shows with out any problem, but i want to format the cells.

The item in collection has simply said this structure:

{ 
public string Text { get; set; }
public string Title {get;set;}
public Brush BGBrush { get; set; }
public Brush Color { get; set; }
}

i mapped it like this:

<DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Path=Text}" Header="{Binding Path=Title}" Foreground="{Binding Path=Color}" />

Data shows, but the foreground and background doesnt change. Any help will be appreciated. I may be doing it totally wrong, but i am just learning the datagrid. Thanks a lot for help

You need to use DataGridTemplateColumn for your case as follows :

            <DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Column 1"  Width="150">
                <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate  >
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Foreground="{Binding Color}"  />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
            </DataGridTemplateColumn>

Hope it helps
