DataGrid row content vertical alignment

I have a regular DataGrid from WPF 4.0 RTM, where I put data from a database. In order to make clean & light style of DataGrid I use a tall/high rows and by default DataGrid aligns row content in top vertical position, but I want to set a center vertical alignment.

I already tried to use this property 

VerticalAlignment="Center"

in DataGrid options, but it doesn't help me.

Here is an example of XAML-code, describing my DataGrid without center vertical alignment:

<DataGrid x:Name="ContentDataGrid"
    Style="{StaticResource ContentDataGrid}"
    ItemsSource="{Binding}"
    RowEditEnding="ContentDataGrid_RowEditEnding">
<DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="UserID"
            Width="100"
            IsReadOnly="True"
            Binding="{Binding Path=userID}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="UserName"
            Width="100"
            Binding="{Binding Path=userName}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="UserAccessLevel"
            Width="100"
            Binding="{Binding Path=userAccessLevel}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="UserPassword"
            Width="*"
            Binding="{Binding Path=userPassword}" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

Result of executing this code:

alt text

As you can see all row content has top vertical align.

What do I have to add in order to get center vertical alignment of each row content?

Just if someone might need it as i did..

To only affect a single column you could use the 'ElementStyle' Property: 

<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}">
    <DataGrid.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="DataGridVerticalText" TargetType="TextBlock">
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
        </Style>
    </DataGrid.Resources>
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Header="Header Title" Binding="{Binding}" ElementStyle="{StaticResource DataGridVerticalText}" />
    </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>

This is my simple solution and it just works perfectly

<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Hello" Width="200">
    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="World!" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>

I set the width to 200 so you can notice the difference.
