Hi,

I am using Visual studio c# aspx forms and i am using a data grid that pulls data from our sql server, this is working fine, but there are a few columns that have quite a bit of data compared to others, e.g firstname, surname, date, problem details etc, the latter being more like a paragraph and i wanted to know if it is possible to alter individual columns widths to suit. My first week on C# so any help would be great.

If there is a way a small example would be appreciated.

Cheers

Something like:

DataGridViewColumn column = dataGridView.Columns[0];
column.ItemStyle.Width = 60;

See the official Docs for more:

Strangely but the URL parser won't parse the URL unless you out http:// in front of the address. (At least in my case: I'm using Chrome)

DataGridViewColumn.Width Property

Thanks for the reply,

I forgot to add this is an aspx web form and i cannot see DatGridView in the Toolbox, would this still be the same syntax? or should i be using/ looking for something else.

Thanks

This is why we have an ASP.Net forum. For ASP.Net questions, please post in this forum. There is a huge difference between ASP.Net and WinForms. One is that ASP.Net doesn't have a DataGridView. It has a DataGrid(back from .Net 1.1) and a GridView(you should use this one).

Apologies,

Will post in the ASP.net side
