DateTime values in DataGrid

I am populating a DataSet using SqlAdapter and then displaying it in a DataGrid. Some of the values in the DataSet are DateTime. It seems by default they are displaying as dd/mm/yyyy and I want to also display the time. I have played around with the DataGridTableStyle and the DataGridTextBoxColumn but nothing seems to take affect. Is there a good resource that outlines how to use these classes or is their an easier way to go about things?
 
One way to do this is to create a custom DataGridColumnStyle that utilizes
the DateTimePicker. See the example in the MSDN docs.

This might also be helpful.

Set the Format property of the corresponding
DataGridTextBoxColumn to the format you want (e.g. "g").
See the docs for the DateTimeFormatInfo class for
valid values.

Note that the DataType property of the underlying
DataColumn must be set to the DateTime type (but
is sounds like it already is)
