Hi Paul,

If we add DataColmn to the DataGird, we can control the Wrap property of a
column. Please refer to following sample:

Dim dt As New DataTable("MyTable")

       Dim dc As New DataColumn("id", System.Type.GetType("System.Int16"))
       dt.Columns.Add(dc)

       dc = New DataColumn("name", System.Type.GetType("System.String"))
       dt.Columns.Add(dc)

       dc = New DataColumn("age", System.Type.GetType("System.Int16"))
       dt.Columns.Add(dc)

       Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()

       dr(0) = 1
       dr(1) = "Luke"
       dr(2) = 35

       dt.Rows.Add(dr)

       dr = dt.NewRow()

       dr(0) = 2
       dr(1) = "My name is Luke, my id is 2, my age is 36;My name is Luke,
my id is 2, my age is 36"
       dr(2) = 36

       dt.Rows.Add(dr)

       Dim dg As New DataGrid

       dg.Visible = True

       dg.AutoGenerateColumns = False

       Dim dgc As New BoundColumn
       dgc.HeaderText = "ID"
       dgc.DataField = "id"
       dg.Columns.Add(dgc)

       dgc = New BoundColumn
       dgc.HeaderText = "Name"
       dgc.DataField = "name"

       dgc.ItemStyle.Wrap = False

       dg.Columns.Add(dgc)

       dgc = New BoundColumn
       dgc.HeaderText = "age"
       dgc.DataField = "age"
       dg.Columns.Add(dgc)

       dg.DataSource = dt

       dg.DataBind()

       Me.Controls.Add(dg)

       'dg.Columns(2).Visible = False

And, as you have seen, to hide a column, we can call "dg.Columns(2).Visible
= False"
