.NET Forum / ASP.NET / DataGrid / October 2004Setting widths of columns
I have a DataGrid on a Windows Form and I set the DataSource and DataMember. Data appears correctly. Question is how can I make certain columns wider to accomodate the fields. One field is ComapnyName and half of it gets truncated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary Since nobody answered, I guess it's too complicated or nobody else knows how to do it?

If you are using ASP.NET, there are some options for controlling the size of the cells in a DataGrid shown here: http://www.daveandal.net/books/6744/webforms/sizemulticontrolgrid.aspx http://www.daveandal.net/books/6744/webforms/scrollitemgrid.aspx Hope this helps... > Since nobody answered, I guess it's too complicated or nobody else knows how > to do it?

I have not figured everything out yet, but there is a .width property you can assign along with format and many other styles.
