Datagrid column formatting

[Kelly]

Is it possible to set the column widths of a datagrid?

This is driving me crazy, and I haven't found a solution yet. I'm pretty new
to ASP.NET so there may be an easy way I'm just not aware of, however, I've
Googled this until my eyes hurt and still haven't found a solution.

Also, how would I set a few of my columns' format? (I have 3 date columns
within the datagrid and I'd like to set the format to dd/mm/yyyy or
something similar...)

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Hi

You can use HeaderStyle-Width and ItemStyle-Width of
column to set column width.

To format date in a BoundColumn:
DataFormatString="{0: MM/dd/yyyy}"

To format date in a TemplateColumn:
Text ='<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "DateField", "{0: dd/MM/yyyy}")'
