DataGrid Problem [URGENT]

Hello everybody,

I have a DataTable and I bind the DataTable with DataGrid. It shows all the columns with equal width. In these columns, I have a description field which contains large data. I need to increase width of this particular column of DataGrid.

Thanks.

you can have a table mappings here, like this sample:

VB Code:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            //conn is a connection from sql
            //DataAdapter da
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            da.SelectCommand=new SqlCommand("select * from Products",conn);
            da.Fill(dt);
            this.dataGrid1.DataSource=dt;
 
            DataGridTableStyle dgt = new DataGridTableStyle();
            dgt.MappingName=dt.TableName;
 
            DataGridTextBoxColumn dgtbc = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
            dgtbc.MappingName=dt.Columns[0].ColumnName;
            dgtbc.HeaderText = "ID"; // Product ID
            dgtbc.Width=50;
            
            DataGridTextBoxColumn dgtbc1 = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
            dgtbc1.MappingName=dt.Columns[1].ColumnName;
            dgtbc1.HeaderText = "Description"; // description
            dgtbc1.Width=200;
            
            dgt.GridColumnStyles.AddRange(new DataGridTextBoxColumn[] {dgtbc,dgtbc1});
 
            this.dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(dgt);
            
        }

you can also add some other columns depends on your stuff to view. :afrog:

Go to the property builder of you datagrid (in design mode), next select format. Then you select your column and there you can fill in the width. :duck:
