Hello,

You can do like this

<div style="height: 260px; width: 470px; overflow: auto; vertical-align: top;">
<asp:DataGrid ID="dgAPVender" AccessKey="G" runat="server" CssClass="clsGrid" BorderColor="Desktop" CellPadding="3" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="450px">
//Gridview content here
</asp:DataGrid>				
</div>

Put the gridview in a container like div or panel and set width for panel.If you want to fix the gridview width set width for gridview also.If you give more width to gridview than panel then it'll show scrollbar.
