Setting Font Size After or Before Setting Data Source

[Robert Gouin]

I am using Linq to fill a gridview like so...

Private Sub findCustomer(Optional ByVal s As String = Nothing)
        Dim cs = From c In cA.Select(False) Where _
                 IIf(IsNothing(s), 1 = 1, c.cLastName Like s & "*") _
                 Select New With _
                   { _
                     .Name = c.cLastName & ", " & c.cFirstName, _
                     .Phone = c.cPhoneHome & " / " & c.cPhoneWork, _
                     .DOB = c.cDateOfBirth _
                   }
        _totalCount = cs.Count
        _currentCount = 0
        loadCustomers()
    End Sub

and now all the information loads correctly and it looks fine, but no matter what I tweek or set, or change, the font on the records is always at 8 pts. and I would like it to be larger like around 14 pts.  Everything else on the grid view shows at 14, but the records that are loaded into it, are still small. 

How would I set that to a larger font?

Hi Robert Gouin,

You need to use the CellFormatting event to change the default font of the cells:

Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 25);

 void radGridView2_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
 {
     e.CellElement.Font = myFont;
 }

You can read more about CellFormatting in this documentation article.

Also you need to set the AutoSizeRows property of RadGridView to true. This will enable the grid to automatically determine the height of its rows depending on their content.

All the best,

Hello,
How can I set an Arabic font for particular cells ?? Or how to tell radgrid to use a specific "script" for selected font.

Best regards
Waleed
