Data Grid Column Widths

[sck10]

Hello,

I am using a datagrid and am trying to control the column widths for each
column. Is this possible? I have tried using the following:
ControlStyle-BorderWidth="1000" with no apparent results.
temStyle-BorderWidth="200" with my column turning black.
ControlStyle-Width="200" with no apparent results.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can try something like this...

<asp:datagrid id="dgTimes" CssClass="DataGrid" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="0"
GridLines="None">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn Visible="False" DataField="OpenHouseID"
ReadOnly="True"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Mls Numer">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></HeaderStyle>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Height="25px" Width="70px"
VerticalAlign="Middle"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" CssClass="labelBlue">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"MlsNumber") %>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" Runat="server" CssClass="labelBlue">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"MlsNumber") %>
</asp:Label>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Hi Sck10,

I think Alex's suggestion is reasonable , generally in the asp.net 1.1's
DataGrid, we can use the
"HeaderStyle-Width" or "ItemStyle-Width" to adjust the columns's width(
both should ok). For example:

<asp:BoundColumn HeaderStyle-Width="100"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn ItemStyle-Width="100"></asp:BoundColumn>

I think the GridView may have the same behavior. You may have a try to see
whether they work. If there're any other problems, please feel free to post
here. Thanks.
