change datagrid column width with code

I have a .NET 1.1, C# desktop application. In this app, there is a window
wherein I use the DataGrid control to display info for the user to edit. I
then grab that data (which initially comes from an accumulator table) and
call a stored procedure that places this data in a different table.
Everything works fine, save for a cosmetic issue. One of my columns needs
to be wider than the others to display more intelligble data. I cannot
figure out for the life of me how to do it. I haven't found a collection of
the columns or any similar thing with which I can tweak a single column's
width. Any pointers?

I hade to define TableStyles so that when I associate my DataView as the
DataSource, it had something to map to with the sizes already defined.

Hi y'all, I have resized the columns in a DataGrid and I want to set the width of the DataGrid to fit the columns. Just summing the column widths is too short due to the grid and gray row selection column on the left. I have the widths of the columns. What other values do I need to include in the DataGrid width? Thanx,

Hi, In Datagrid, while setting width of column through GridColumnStyles collection. width does not set to exact width that I am setting in my code.

On Mouse down, I store the position and on mouse up, check the difference between positions and set...

I was looking over some of my 2003 code today (see below) that loads a foxpro table via oledb connection. I used a sub "autosizecolumns" I found on the web but I never quite understood why they said the style name had to be the same as the table name. Perhaps the are refering to ts1.mappingname must be the same as the table name (datagrid1.datamember) because I've read that that is how the datagrid associates a style with what it's...

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
