'First you have to give the datagrid a percentage to work form

dg.Width = Unit.Percentage(300)


'then in your code you can tell the datagrid what field you want to change the width of.

 dg.Columns(4).ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage(5) 

The important thing to understand is: The original width can be greater than 100%. I have found no documentation to validate this, just what I have come up with on my own.

Hi Abashai

What ever u hv given is correct for Writing the code in OnLoad of Event. But I need to write the code Where i have the line of code for DataGrid It must be something like

 <asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" backcolor="#EEEEEE" top="20px" Height="60px" Width="487" PageSize="20" AutoGenerateColumns="False" showHeader="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="projCode" ReadOnly="True">               </asp:BoundColumn>
...
...
[color=red]
< Column1... Fixedwith="100" -- Someting like this
( I am just imaging the code like this) [/color=red]
...

</asp:Grid>

I see what you are trying to do. I think you code has to post back to the server, so the page would have to load again.

Each time the form loads you have to recreate the column.

You might have code similar to this

if not me.ispostback

        Dim Company As New BoundColumn()
        Company.DataField = "cCompanyName"
        Company.HeaderText = "Company Name"
        Company.SortExpression = "CompanyName"
        dgCustomers.Columns.Add(Company)
        dg.Columns(4).ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Percentage(5

end if 

If you are creating the datagrid at runtime then I would use something similar to the code above.
