gridview column alignment

I have a gridview but the alignment doesn't seem to work.
I want to center a button in one column and text in another.
The alignment doesn't work for either column.
It does pick up the Font-Bold/Italic though.

<asp:TemplateField AccessibleHeaderText="Detail" HeaderText="Access Detail"
ShowHeader="False" SortExpression="CandidateID">
      <ItemTemplate >
         X<asp:Button ID="btnDetail" runat="server" CausesValidation="false"
Text='<%# Eval("CandidateID") %>'   OnClick="btnDetail_Click" />Y
      </ItemTemplate>
      <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Font-Bold="true"
Font-Italic="true" />
</asp:TemplateField>

<asp:BoundField DataField="ExitDescription" HeaderText="ExitDescription"
SortExpression="ExitDescription" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Right" />

Hi Chuck,

I just tried your code, it seems working correctly on my side. I've
attached the screenshot for your reference. It might be related other code
in your project. You may send me a complate reproducible project for
inspecting. Thanks.

Code is correct.
Maybe problem is caused by incorrect stylesheet. For example, if in
spite of your code both column items aligned to the left then look
through stylesheet for declaration:
    td
    {
       ....
       text-align:left;
       ....
    }
or if some CssClass applied to grid view
<... CssClass="gview" ...>
look for ".gview td", ".gview tr td", etc.
