Set DataGrid column width from code-behind

[JL]

Hi all,

I have a DataGrid that is binded from a dataset where the number of columns
is unknown. Therefore I have not set up the columns at design time, but I
would like to control the width of each column.

I have wrote the following code:

Protected WithEvents MyGrid As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid
Dim GridColumn As System.web.UI.WebControls.TemplateColumn

For Each GridColumn In MyGrid.Columns
GridColumn.HeaderStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(300)
GridColumn.ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(300)
Next

....but it does not seem to work. All columns have different widths,
depending on the width of the string inside it.

What is wrong here? Thank you!

You are going to want to set the width in the onItemDataBound Event of the
datagrid.
