Windows.Forms.D ataGrid :- How to return the coloum width at runtime??

[philip.mckee]

Hi all
I am looking to return the width of a given column in a
Windows.Forms.D ataGrid at runtime. This would seem to be a much needed
straight forward property request, but I can't find a simple way of
getting it. I believe the DataGridColumnS tyle class should be able to
return this width, but how do you get the DataGridColumnS tyle instance
for a given column? I am sure that there is a collection somewhere but
cant find.

My datagrid is constructed from a DataSet, and formatted with the
property select 'Auto Format' in the properties panel in Visual
Studio. Though this seams to simply set datagrid properties directly to
make it pretty, and not create a collection of DataGridColumnS tyle or
table styles.
Thanks..

Try:

this.dataGrid1. TableStyles["<TABLENAME >"].GridColumnStyl es["<COLUMNNAM E>"].Width = size;
