So I am not a huge fan of the default templates for the Silverlight Controls but, hey at least we have controls now right?
I wanted to eliminate that bulky cell to the left of each row to allow for my DataGrid’s to be a little more concise. Below you will find a complete Style that will accomplish this. You can copy & paste & use in your Silverlight apps.
