I am wanting to use the example from

http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tomershamam/archive/2008/09/22/lt-howto-gt-replace-listview-columns-with-rows-lt-howto-gt.aspx

However I don't want to put this into the App.xaml code as this will apply to ALL gridviews, how do I apply this example to a select few gridviews in the application? The Resources look like this

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewHeaderRowPresenter}">
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="80" />
        <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
            <Setter.Value>
                <TransformGroup>
                    <RotateTransform Angle="-90" />
                    <ScaleTransform ScaleY="-1" />
                </TransformGroup>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewRowPresenter}">
        <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
            <Setter.Value>
                <TransformGroup>
                    <RotateTransform Angle="-90" />
                    <ScaleTransform ScaleY="-1" />
                </TransformGroup>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

    <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">
        <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="0.4091"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FFF7F8F9" Offset="1"/>
    </LinearGradientBrush>
    <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="GridViewColumnHeaderBorderBackground" EndPoint="0,1" StartPoint="0,0">

I have tried creating a usercontrol and sticking that lot in the UserControl.Resources section but it didn't work, I can only get this example to work if i put them into the Application.Resources section which i obviously don't want. Help!! :-)
