Hi,

I have a gridview of which I would like the columns to be set dynamically. The grid is bound from a datatable and autogeneratecolumns is true.

The code im attempting to use is this. . .but it doesnt seem to make any difference:

C#

int colWidth = Int16.Parse("150");
       if (colWidth > 0)
       {
           for (int r = 0; r < gvMadeToStock.Rows.Count; r++)
           {
               for (int i = 0; i < gvMadeToStock.Rows[r].Cells.Count; i++)
               {
                   gvMadeToStock.Rows[r].Cells[i].Width = colWidth;
               }
           }
       }

Any advice would be appreciated. . .

try change Column width not cell width or try to set AutoSizeMode and FillWeight of each Column

C#

MyColumn.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill;
MyColumn.FillWeight = 1/ColumnsCount;
