I am binding a table to a gridview in asp.net as such
grdIssues.DataSource = mdtIssues;
grdIssues.DataBind();
The problem is I cannot the
I'd do it like this:
foreach (DataControlField field in grdIssues.Columns)
{
field.HeaderStyle.Width = 100;
}
You dont have to manually create the columns to set them the width, you can do this
foreach (DataControlField column in OrdersGV.Columns)
{
column.ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
}
I was able to change the width of a certain Gridview
column (bound to a Datatable
) with the RowDataBound
event:
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) {
e.Row.Cells[0].Attributes["width"] = "200px";
}
I did it as:
gridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[0].Attributes["Width"] = "100px";
gridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[1].Attributes["Width"] = "50px";
gridView1.HeaderRow.Cells[2].Attributes["Width"] = "200px";
I like to answer my own question whenever I can so future users searching the thread will find the answer.
I could not find a way to do what I wanted directly. However I found if I define the columns myself, I could change the properties. In this example, I wanted to center the column data. Something like this.
BoundField bdfRaisedDate = new BoundField();
clsUtilities.SetBoundFieldCenter(ref bdfRaisedDate, "RaisedDateShort", "Opened", "RaisedDate");
grdIssues.Columns.Add(bdfRaisedDate);
grdIssues.DataSource = mdtIssues;
grdIssues.DataBind();
public static void SetBoundFieldCenter(ref BoundField bdfAny, string pDataField, string pHeadingValue, string pSortExpression)
{
bdfAny.DataField = pDataField;
bdfAny.HeaderText = pHeadingValue;
bdfAny.SortExpression = pSortExpression;
bdfAny.HeaderStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;
bdfAny.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;
}
