Unable to Set DataGrid Column Width in ASP.NET

[VijaySofist]

Hi All!

I am using ASP.Net with Vb Coding in Windows XP Machine. I am Using a DataGrid and I am Passing a DataBase to this DataGrid. Data are get filled from the DataBase. Now I want to Set the First Column Width to Some pixels (Ex: 150 pixels).

I am using the following code:

Datagrid1.Columns(0).ItemStyle.Width.Pixel(150)

But it does n't works.

Thanks in Advance

What is the AutoGenerateColumns property of your datagrid set to?

If you want to control the width of your columns it should be set to false.

Hi!

First of all Thanks for your Reply.

My Datagrid's AutoGenerateColumns property = True

If I set it to False Then then DataBase Values are not been populated into it.
What Should I do in this situation
My Code is

  Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        sqlcon.ConnectionString = "server=2k6;database=orgsat;UID=sa;pwd=gopalan;"
        sqlcon.Open()
        sqlcmd.CommandText = "Select Date=convert(varchar(10),ndate,105),Topic=substring(Ntopic,1,15),UserId from satuserpost union select Date=convert(varchar(10),rdate,105),Topic=substring(rmessage,1,15),UserId=ruserid from SatPostreply"
        sqlcmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.Text
        sqlcmd.Connection = sqlcon
        sdrdata = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader
        DataGrid1.DataSource = sdrdata
        DataGrid1.DataBind()
        DataGrid1.Columns(1).ItemStyle.Width.Pixel(1)
        sqlcon.Close()
    End Sub
