Why doesn't the CssClass property change the visual display of my datagrid cells?

Why doesn't the CssClass property change the visual display of my datagrid
cells? Thanks for any insights. I'm primarily a developer of .NET business
components, and weak in ASP.NET, so I may very well be missing some key
ingredient here.

' Yes, the ItemDataBound event is handled for each row in datasource......
Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.ItemDataBound

' Yes, FormatCells does get called for each row.....
FormatCells(sender, e)

Protected Sub FormatCells(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)

' Yes, this line of code is executed, but has no visual effect when the
datagrid is displayed.
' What more must I do to have this CssClass apply?
e.Item.CssClass = "MyWarning"
..
..
..
' Yes, In Styles.css the class is defined....

..MyWarning
{
color: red;
}

It looks ok. You might have another style overriding the one you are
setting.
