GridView column text wrap width

AD
Hi,

I have a problem where my text in a GridView column is being wrapped
in the middle of the column and does not fill the full width of the
column, any idea why this would happen, and how I can control it?

Thanks

Hi,

What you need to do is add the no wrap to the column. This can be done two
was the first is applied to all columns:

<ItemStyle wrap="False"></ItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle wrap="False" HorizontaAlign= "Centre"></HeaderStyle>

The second approach is to only apply it to a column:

<asp:boundColum n DataField..>
<ItemStyle wrap="False" HorizontaAlign= "Left"></ItemStyle>
<HeaderStyle wrap="False" HorizontaAlign= "Centre"></HeaderStyle>
</asp:boundColumn >

I have a Gridview binding to a DataTable source. I'd like to set the column with of the second column. I cannot do this apparently because when AutoGenerateColumns=true, they do not appear in the columns collection. I modified the RowCreated even to gridview, and I can change properties on the cells, but not width. (setting tooltip, background color, etc, all work but changing width has no effect). Here's sample code I am using:

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble with my gridview table and the width of the columns. The gridview is made of Templates that contain LinkButton controls. The LinkButtons will display a string based on their "text" property. I have set a width for the Linkbutton control, and I am also using CSS to set style word-wrap:break-word so that if there is a long string it will break the word and wrap it. This works fine, however the column-width...
