[Solved] Need to programatically set width of column - help please

[Denise Duggan]

Because I don't know how many columns will be needed at design time, I've delved into programatically creating grid columns and adding them to the grid.  However, I cannot seem to affect the width of the column.  Could someone please help me understand how to set the width of the column?  If I were doing this in the markup I'd set the HeaderStyle and/or ItemStyle but those appear to be readonly properties when I view them in the codebehind.  Help?

Hello Denise,

You can set the width of the column programatically as shown below:

c#:

        GridBoundColumn bndcol = new GridBoundColumn();
        bndcol.UniqueName = "FirstName";
        bndcol.HeaderText = "First Name";
        bndcol.DataField = "FirstName";
        bndcol.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
        this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.TableLayout = GridTableLayout.Fixed;
        this.RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(bndcol);

Thanks

Shinu.
