View 5 Replies.I am new to asp.net.Is there any way we can limi the width of the gridview in the design mode.
I have to put 15-20 columns on the gridview.When I add columns to gridview the width shoots out of the page and the page design is seems ruined.
i placed it inside the panel and added scrol bars to it. it looks ok when debuggin i.e looks ok in internet explorer but in design mode it ruins the page design.
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.
View 4 RepliesI have a GridView with bound columns, for which I am manually setting the ItemWidth and HeaderWidth to 500px, and nothing happens. Is there some trick to getting this to work?
This is a column a large amount of text in it, and it keeps sizing to the width of the header text, which is simply "note". I don't want to set Wrap to false, becuase then the colummn could be thousands of px wide in cases.
You know how when you put your cursor over the line that seperates 2 columns of a grid, the cursor turns into a 2 headed arrow and allows you to adjust the width of the column? How do you allow this with a gridview?
View 4 RepliesI have a gridview that was quite easy to setup and pull all the reqested database info from an object data source in my BLL. However for the life of me I cannot get any of the columns to change there widths. If I change the columns footer, header, and item style to something around 50px or as large as 5000px it will not change whatsoever. The gridview width as a whole is left blank. Currently I have a phone number column that is the default column size that is overflowing the entire grid. Is there some trick to adjusting column widths in a gridview? It should be as simple as going to the smart tag, editing columns, and changing each ones style to the width I want?
View 4 RepliesIs there any way to set the width of a GridView to a pre-determined width?
I have set the width of the gridview and all the columns to a % and then to a number of pixels but it does work. The gridview always sets itself to a width required to display all fields and it goes beyond the resolution of the screen. I would like to contain it to 1024 pixels.

View 1 RepliesI have a dropdown list in a gridview field. The DataValueField for the ddl is an 8 digit item code. The text to display through will be quite longer, 40-60 characters because it will combine the item code and item name into a single string. I don't want the dropdownlist field to be that wide though, only what is displayed when the ddl is selected.In Access you can set the width property of the list to display wider than the field itself. Is there that capability in ASP.NET and if so where do I find it?

There are only 2 columns in grid that can have long size text data (with and without spaces between words).
Problem
1. When grid has lot of columns (say 20), a scrollbar appears on the IE window(as page content is out of windows size); but the two columns that have long text values in them, gets wrapped.
2. when grid has less columns (say 5), no scrollbar appears in IE windows(as page content fits within window).but the same two long text columns, doesn't get wrapped and render in a single line.
Is there any max width of gridview? I want that grid should take all the space (as per content) and show scrollbar; the content should not get wrapped.

I have a GridView bound to a SqlDataSource. If the text in a particular column is very long then the Grid view becomes very wide, well off the page. How do I constrain it, if necessary truncating the text displayed? I cannot find the relevant setting in the properties section.
View 1 Repliesi 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.
I have tried to increase the width of the td in Gridview table. I have tried the Headerstyle width, itemstyle width, CSS class. nothing works so far.
does not matter what width I set up, the width of the column remains the same. It really drives me mad now.
After 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 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; }
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.
