Question: Setting Datagrid's Column Width via Code

[VB Programmer]

I have a datagrid which is bound to a datatable that I create on the fly.

How do I set the width of each column via code?

Ex: Column 1 is always 100, Column 2 is always 250, etc...

Thanks!

This worked....

Set the DataSource and DataMember properties of the dg. (DataSource is a
public var I create on the fly in code.)
Unchecked "Create columns automatically at run time" and added 8 bound
columns and set the Header Text and Data Field entries.
Here's the HTML:

<aspataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" BorderColor="#999999"
BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px"
BackColor="White" CellPadding="3" GridLines="Vertical" Width="888px"
Height="96px" DataSource="<%# ds %>" DataMember="WindFields"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt">
<SelectedItemStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="#008A8C"></SelectedItemStyle>
<AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="Gainsboro"></AlternatingItemStyle>

<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="#000084"></HeaderStyle>
