  I am trying to set the column width in the code behind and can not figure out how to do this.  My aspx looks like:
  

  
  <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" AllowMultiRowSelection="True" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None" >

   

  <

   

  MasterTableView >

   

   

   

  <Columns>

   

   

   

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="INVOICE" UniqueName="INVOICE"

   

   

  HeaderText="Invoice">

   

   

   

  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   

   

   

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="DATE" UniqueName="DATE" HeaderText="Date">

   

   

   

  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   

   

   

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="BOL" UniqueName="BOL" HeaderText="BOL">

   

   

   

  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   

   

   

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="PO" UniqueName="PO" HeaderText="PO">

   

   

   

  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   

   

   

  <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="POHIDE" UniqueName="POHIDE" Visible="false"

   

   

  HeaderText="PO Hide" >

   

   

   

  </telerik:GridBoundColumn>

   

   

   

  </Columns>

   

  </

   

  MasterTableView>

   

   

   

  <ClientSettings EnableRowHoverStyle="true" EnablePostBackOnRowClick="True" >

   

   

   

  <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />

   

   

   

  </ClientSettings>

   

   

   

  </telerik:RadGrid>
  
  I have tried using the RadGrid1_ColumnCreated event but no luck.  How do I change the column width at binding time?
  
  Thanks
  
  John

  Hello John,
  
  You can try the code in the RadGrid PreRender event. The following code snippet will help you to achieve your scenario.
  
  C#:
  

  protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)

      {

        GridColumn gridCol = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumn("LastName");

        gridCol.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);   

      }

  
  
  Thanks,
  Princy.

  Hi John,
  
  Please be aware that ColumnCreated is fired only for autogenerated columns.
