I have a datagrid control on my aspx page that is bound to a datareader. After I populate the grid I want to make the column widths larger so the data does not look cramped. I have alread tried the following but it doesn't seem to work. Someone please help!!!


This has no apparent effect:
grdMain.Items(1).Cells(1).Width = New Unit(5000, UnitType.Pixel)
