I have a GridView, in which the width of each column is dynamic and changes depending on the dataset. I need to get the width of each column for use in my PDF exporter, but the column/cells width is always '0', presumably because I haven't set the width property.
Is there a way around this?

View 2 RepliesI have been looking for an answer to this for awhile and haven't found what I am looking for. I have a GridView with 5 columns.

I am not a fan of what I have to do but the client wants what the client wants(I need to mimic the user interface of a mainframe screen).
I am binding a table to a gridview in asp.net as such
grdIssues.DataSource = mdtIssues;
grdIssues.DataBind();
The problem is I cannot then control the column width, asp.net seems to decided on it's own what width each column should be. Methods such as
grdIssues.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 100;
grdIssues.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width = 100;
don't work because the columns are created dynamically. I cannot believe there isn't a way to do this short of manually creating each column and filling each row.
I have a gridview that I need to get the width of columns for after the gridview is databound. I have to have AutoGenerateColumns=true because the columns for the datatable that the gridview is bound to is not going to be fixed. The problem I'm having is the gridview columns collection is not populated when AutoGenerateColumns is true. Is there anyway I can get the width of each column after the gridview is databound? I've tried using RowDataBound and going through the tablecells but the width is 0 for every column.

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

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.

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?
