DataGrid Row Auto-Size

[Guest]

Can Someone please help me get the DATAGRID to keep the row size consistent
when there is 1 row or 50 rows. Right now, if the datagrid has several rows
of data, it is ok, and looks like a normal data grid. However, if the data
goes to 1, 2, 3, etc rows of data, the grid will try to AUTO-SIZE the data
row size, making the few rows of data take up the entire grid size.... This
make the end result look really bad....

Please help with you ideas... I have searched everywhere for a solution to
this...

Thanks,
Bruce

I've not tested this out, but try reducing the vertical length of the
datagrid in design view. if there's a couple of inches in design view,
it seems to try and fill to this size even if there's only 1-2 rows --as
if it's using the design-view's size as a minimum size. so try reducing
this minimum size.

You have to assign the width of every datagrid cell in the .aspx file. In
Vis Studio this is within the html view. Using a templated column it's liek
this:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id="Name" width=60 runat="server" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Name") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="NameEdit" width=130 runat="server" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Name") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
