I have a very similar problem. In using a datagrid, I can dynamically change
the column formatting/justification in Debug. But when deployed to our
Intranet server, this formatting goes away and reverts to the default (left
justified). Is this a setting issue?
Specifically, I need
some text columns justified into the center and
some $ amount columns justified to the right
On a Button:
Private Sub btnReport2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnReport2.Click
Dim ls_locn_id As String = ""
Dim ls_make As String = ""
Dim ls_Amt As String = ""
' //Define a DataRow
Dim dr_comments As DataRow
' //Define the DataColumns.
dt_comments.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("LOCN", GetType(String)))
dt_comments.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("MAKE", GetType(String)))
dt_comments.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("AMT", GetType(String)))
dr_comments = dt_comments.NewRow()
ls_locn_id = "Central"
ls_make = "Right-justified"
ls_Amt = "10.00"
dr_comments(0) = ls_locn_id
dr_comments(1) = ls_make
dr_comments(2) = ls_Amt
' //Add the data to the row now.
dt_comments.Rows.Add(dr_comments)
End If
End While
objreader.Close()
dgSurveyResults.DataSource = dt_comments
dgSurveyResults.DataBind()
btnReport1.Enabled = True
End Sub
After the button:
Private Sub dgSurveyResults_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs)
Handles dgSurveyResults.ItemDataBound
Try
Dim item As DataGridItem = CType(e.Item, DataGridItem)
Dim i As Integer = e.Item.ItemIndex
With item
..Cells(0).HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center
..Cells(1).HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right
..Cells(2).HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right
End With
Catch tex As Threading.ThreadAbortException
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.Message & ex.StackTrace)
Finally
End Try
End Sub
Incidentally:
No error is thrown but with diagnostics in place the innermost code is
executing.
The operating systems of both my development system and the host server
are Windows 2000.
Another (possible) clue is that
the color of my development system shows Blue text, but
the color of the server-based text is Purple.
Great thanks in advance,

This is not possible since the ultimate control on column width is in the
browser hands and your instructions are treated as recommendations. You have
to merge the table and the gridview content into the same control.

How can I align an asp:table columns with gridview columns (the
widths)? I have tried setting table.column(0).width =
gridview.column(0).width at page_load but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance
