Forms Data Controls :: Unable To Set GridView Column Width
Sep 23, 2010
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.

I'm trying to set the width of gridview's column.
1) I have a template field with the HeaderText ="WheelChair" that has a checkbox. Just for checkbox its taking the width that of the HeaderText. How do I set the width of this column just enough to fit the checkbox or how do I break the HeaderText of such columns.
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.

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 populate a gridview dynamically which has differen column numbers depend on requirements. My goal is to adjust column width dynamically. I have tried several methods and events, then RowCreated event of GridView looks best one to do. My code is as below. When
i check result at the ViewSource on the browser, i can see that width of <td> successfully adjusted. BUT nothing changes on the browser, column width always as wide as text?

What I want is to increase the column width of the address in gridview that will suit the long text inside it. How could I do it in C#? Currently this are my codes:

I 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.

I am facing a problem with Gridview control. I have created a Gridview1 which is having 3 button column that has been added at design time and some column can be added through the Datatable at runtime. At Design time GridView1 has 3 button column
At Runtime I do GridView1.Datasource=dt; //Now my gridview is having 7 columns i.e. 4 more columns added through datatable.
I can easily display that GridView1 on webpage but I dont want to show some column that I added through Datatable to the user.
When I try to hide that column, I get error like Index out of bound exception but when I hide button column I can able to do that easily.

Is 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.
Here's my .aspx

.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.
