grid height changes

[James]

I have one column 'Comments' that contains little/large amounts of data, no matter what I do
I can't seem to force the grid to be a particular size, the grid has paging and page one it may
take 80% of space on next page, where data column 'Comment's has quite a few and it wraps
around it will enlarge the grid and have vertical scrollbar?

Would like to find the attribute or secret to make the grid be, for example 500px height and it
stays there. Have tried quite a few setting and this is what it looks like now, glad I found out
how to paste things so it does not take a HUGE amount of space in the posting!

Hi James,

In your case you should enable RadGrid scrolling. In this way RadGrid will occupy the same amount of space, no matter how much data it displays.
