Hello,

I have a problem with a column that has its width set to Auto where the column is not sizing to the width of its cell contents. (see attached screen shot)

My GridView is loaded within a View and injected into another container control (i.e. Region) with data from a Web Service.

It only occurs intermittently and only when data is loaded in asynchronously from a web service. If I mock the data locally and load a collection in as the View is being created then the problem does not occur. Very strange!

I have uploaded a demo project you can use to reproduce the issue (it can take anywhere from the first load to fifteen attempts before the sizing issue appears).
http://cid-47007997392d2bb4.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/ColumnAutoSizeProblem.zip?lc=5129

Unfortunately setting a fixed with on this column is not an option, it really needs to be auto sized to the contents of the largest cell.

Help appreciated,
James.

Hi James,

You can call UpdateLayout() for the grid. Here is an example:

void dt_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
            // Load in the mocked data and stop the timer.
            view.radGridViewMain.ItemsSource = people;
            view.radGridViewMain.UpdateLayout();
            dt.Stop();            
        }


All the best,
