[Solved] Dynamic GridBoundColumn Width In Design Time Renders Differently At Runtime

[Virgil Rodriguez]

Hello Telerik,

My Apologies, the thread title should read:

Dynamic GridBoundColumn Width During Development Time Renders Differently When Deployed To Web Server

I'm at a loss here. I have a static RadGrid "rgEventQuery". I successfully create the columns for this RadGrid dynamically and I also dynamically change the width of any of these columns. What I can't understand is why the width of these dynamic columns appears different when the grid is displayed during development time than when it is deployed to the web server.

The property I'm changing is the HeaderStyle.Width property. Below are some code snippets: 

fld = "DEPARTMENT"
fldWidth = "55:T"
gbc = New GridBoundColumn

gbc.DataField = fld

rgEventQuery.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(gbc)

gbc.UniqueName = fld

gbc.SortExpression = fld

gbc.HeaderButtonType = GridHeaderButtonType.LinkButton

If fldWidth <> "" Then

    If fldWidth.Contains(":") Then

        If IsNumeric(fldWidth.Split(":")(0)) Then

            gbc.HeaderStyle.Width = fldWidth.Split(":")(0)

        End If

    Else

        If IsNumeric(fldWidth) Then

            gbc.HeaderStyle.Width = fldWidth.Split(":")(0)

        End If

    End If

End If

gbc.AllowSorting = True

rgEventQuery.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.AddSortExpression(gbc.SortExpression)


If you could create a sample website (that works on your end) that I can test on my end, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Virgil,

Note that HeaderStyle.Width property is of type Unit and you have to set it with a correct value. I am attaching a small runnable sample that runs as expected on my side and demonstrates how to set the value correctly

I hope this helps.
