DataGrid Problem [URGENT]

[usamaalam]

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:

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.

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.
