Increase Width of GridView Column

[dmbuso]

How do I increase the default width of a gridview column (just one column,
the 10th column, named "Notes")?

In design mode, I changed the width properties of the HeaderStyle,
ControlStyle, and ItemStyle to 300 px and set Wrap to False for the
HeaderStyle and ItemStyle. When I accept settings the "Notes" field widens in
design mode but when I run the web site, the Notes field is back to default
width.

PS - My gridview is bound to SqlDataSource1 which is a SELECT statement to a
SQL Server 2005 database table.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net bears very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a
group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.

Sorry, I will post this to the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
newsgroup.
