View 1 RepliesI am trying to set the width of each column within my gridview. Problem is that none of it is working. I have tried setting the whole grid view to 100% and then break down each individual column to a certain percentage, tried manually adjusting Header Width, Item Style width, tried setting it in code, I have tried just about everything and the column doesn't want to budge. The only time I can adjust the width of the column/cell is when I do it in SQL, but because they are requesting the tooltip to preview the comment I would like to pursue my options doing it on the page itself.
//Code protected void grdComments_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{//Setting the tooltip for the comment column and column width.
grdComments.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
//e.Row.Cells[3].Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
e.Row.Cells[3].Wrap = false;
e.Row.Cells[3].Style["overflow"] = "hidden";
e.Row.Cells[3].Style["text-overflow"] = "ellipsis";
e.Row.Cells[3].ToolTip = e.Row.Cells[3].Text; }
How to set the GridView column fixed in width size whether there is data in the column cell or not. I try below code using "ItemStyle-Width" in the BoundField control to fix the column width but column became narrower if there is no data to display in it. Is this a no solution of ASP Gridview control ?
<asp:GridView
ID="GridView1"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="false"
Font-Names="Arial"
Font-Bold="true"......
I had a datagrid with lot of columns.The datagrid coloumns width changes accoprding to data.
So I want to get the width of the column in Javascript,because I maintain a dummy header(**here I need to set the each Header column width according to the data columns width).
I want to set header column width for grid view. I tried HeaderStyle-Width="30px". But it is depending on Item columns. The column width is setting based on item value. But I want fixed width even if it has value or empty.

how to set the fixed value with the columns in a grid view? my code works fine if you have normal words with space. If the length of the whole field is more than its width, It would come to the next line. But If we type big word without any space like "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW", It would by default increase the width and disturbs the layout.

2) Also I have another column 'Address ' . I don't want to wrap the content in such columns.
i need to set the column width of my gridview.
However the the column in the gridview is dynamic created which might more or less depend on system logic.
I have try to set the column width in row_created event, rowDataBound event, but it show me that no column is available by using gridview.columns.count.

View 4 RepliesAfter binding a gridview to a datareader - Im trying to set the width of the first column by using :
[Code]....
this is giving me an error : Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
I have been searching the internet for a solution to this for hours. I have tried all of the following methods to set the column width on my GridView control:
1. <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ColumnHeader" ItemStyle-Width="100px">
2. <ItemStyle Width="100px" Wrap="False" />
3. GridView.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 100 both on the PageLoad event and, out of desperation, on the RowDataBound event.
I have tried these settings by themselves and in combination. I have also experimented with different CSS width settings for the GridView and its containing <div> (including none) to no avail. The GridView columns are always equally spaced and wrap the row description text in the first column in a rather ugly fashion. As this needs to be fixed for a presentation to a client on Monday, I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction.

I have a gridview and I want to fix the column size to a certain size regardless of the length of the data in a given cell.
I have tried everythign I can think of from
gvwProjects.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width
gvwProjects.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Wrap
to setting the length of the lblContol in the template but no matter what I do the column size automatically increases beyond my fixed size to meet the size of the longest cell in the bound datatable.
Gridview columns are created programmatically and when displaying the gridview first time it looks great. But click on a number to go to another page in gridview the column size changes and looks terrible, but correct data is displayed.How do I fix the formatting problem?
View 4 RepliesI have an asp:Table. Its with is 100%. This table has only one row but 6 columns. The width of first 5 column is fixed at 150px. The last one does not have its Width specified and so it takes up the rest. The whole row has a background. If any of the first 5 column is clicked, the background of that cell is changed to white.In my development computer, the last column has about 250px. Yet in user computer, as the monitor has a smaller resolution, the last column has only 30px or so. User complains it is ugly and wish to merge the last column with the previous one. How to do so?
