ASP.NET

<pre><asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" CssClass="fixedColWidth" CellPadding="0" ForeColor="#333333" Height="273px" AutoGenerateEditButton="True"  OnRowEditing="GridView1_RowEditing"         
        OnRowCancelingEdit="GridView1_RowCancelingEdit" 
        OnRowUpdating="GridView1_RowUpdating"
        OnPageIndexChanging="GridView1_PageIndexChanging" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="1000">
              <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
                <%--<Columns>
                    <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowDeleteButton="True" />
                </Columns>--%>
              <EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
              <FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
              <HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
              <PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Left"/>
              <RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
              <SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#E2DED6" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333" />
              <SortedAscendingCellStyle BackColor="#E9E7E2" /> 
              <SortedAscendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#506C8C" />
              <SortedDescendingCellStyle BackColor="#FFFDF8" />
              <SortedDescendingHeaderStyle BackColor="#6F8DAE" />

My Css class for the gridview is below which is used to give the columns a max and min width of 150px because i have dropdowns correlated which are the same px size.

<style>
     .fixedColWidth td
     {
     min-width : 150px;
     max-width : 150px;
            }
</style>

What I have tried:

i tried to do this from stack overflow but then it removes the column size of 150 px.

Look at the generated HTML. You'll see that the pager is rendered as a child table within a row at the bottom of the main GridView table:

HTML

<table class="fixedColWidth" ...>
    ...
    <tr>
        <td colspan="...">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        1
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <a ...>2</a>
                    </td>
                    ...
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Your CSS rule says that any <td> within the main table should have a fixed width of 150px. This includes the <td>s nested within the pager table.

You'll need to change your rule so that it only applies to the immediate children of the GridView. (Depending on your settings, you might need to account for a <thead> / <tbody> as well.)

CSS

.fixedColWidth > tr > td,
.fixedColWidth > tbody > tr > td,
.fixedColWidth > thead > tr > td,
.fixedColWidth > tfoot > tr > td
{
    min-width: 150px;
    max-width: 150px;
}
