MaxLength of data in grid column

I am defining the datagridtable style for a grid

....
Dim coursekeycol As New DataGridTextBox Column
coursekeycol.Ma ppingName = COURSEKEYCOLNAM E
coursekeycol.He aderText = ""
coursekeycol.Wi dth = COURSEKEYCOLWID TH
....

I am wondering, how to I set the cells so that the user
can only put a maximum of x characters, like the maxlength
in a text box??

thanks,
A..

You can do this by setting the max length property of the data column in
the dataset. You will need to write code for though something like this:

DatasetInstance .Table.Column.M axLength=x

Hope this helps,

I have a database with text string fields defined by varchar(nnn). When I request from the user the text from a textbox, I'd like to set the maximum number of characters in the textbox to the "nnn" that was used in the varchar(...) statement in the field definition. i.e. Field1 varchar(25) NOT NULL and in the .aspx file: <asp.textbox id=Field1 runat="server" />

I just want it to change the second and third pick list on the currently...

I've looked around and have yet to find anything that would answer my question regarding formating a column in a datagrid. My grid looks like this as far as data" AMHQCON|51300.01|-3147 The first two columns are pretty much text column, but subsequent columns 1-12 are numerical. I'm trying to get the thousand separator to work. Any ideas?
