Locking middle or last column in a datagrid

Question

Does anyone know how to lock say the middle or last column in
a datagrid. What i really need is for the first and fifth column to
be locked in a datagrid or Advanced datagrid. Is this possible or
do i need to put two datagrids next to each other and try to sync
the vertical scroll??
Thanks,
-Jay

>>For this, I have read that I can use Width="Auto" in all the columns and in the last column width="*", but in this case all the coloumns has a very low width so I can't read anything.
Can't you just set an explicit width for the first two columns then?, e.g.:
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}" Width="100"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}" Width="100"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""*"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
There is also a MinWidth property that you can use to prevent the columns from being to narrow:
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column01" Binding="{Binding Property1, Mode=OneWay}" Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column02" Binding="{Binding Property2, Mode=OneWay}" Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Column03" Binding="{Binding Property3, Mode=OneWay}" Width=""*"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
Hope that helps.
