They do work, but are wider in scope than you may think. ItemStyle applies to the entire item, not to just the control in it. In your case, you have just a single text box in it, but when you are using a TemplateField, ItemStyle applies to the entire contents of the template field.

You'll see that ControlStyle - which applies to the text or other controls - does not have a Wrap property...
