datagrid and leading spaces in fields

SKG

i have leading spaces in my database fields. When they appear in the
datagrid in browser,
they seem to be truncated. I did view source in browser and found that there
are indeed spaces but when browser
displays it crunches them in datagrid. Also i have update and delete
buttons options in this datagrid.
How can i display the leading spaces.?
TIA

TIA,

Spaces in browsers are always truncated. Do a replace of the spaces with
  (code for non-breaking space).

MyString.Replace(" ", " ")

You'll have to replace the spaces with   in the html, you should be able to pull this off in the itemdatabound event.

text = text.Replace(" ", " ")
