I've been looking at this for a while trying to figure out how to change the
column size of a GridView. From my understanding I should be able to set
this property in design time by editing the columns and setting the
itemStyle.width property. When I do this I do not see any changes? The only
way I've been able to work around this is to covert the column into a
templateColumn and edit the width of the label that is generated, which seems
like a hack.
Any ideas why the itemStyle property deosn't seem to be asserting itself?
(look at the "notes" column in the code below)
