You're in the
asp.net webcontrols
group:ItemStyle.Width doens't adjust the size of a column?
asp.net webcontrols:
column size of a GridView. From my understanding I should be able to set this property in design time by editing the columns and setting the itemStyle.width property. When I do this I do not see any changes? The only way I've been able to work around this is to covert the column into a templateColumn and edit the width of the label that is generated, which seems like a hack. Any ideas why the itemStyle property deosn't seem to be asserting itself? (look at the "notes" column in the code below) <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Height="159px" ScrollBars="Auto" Width="642px"> <asp:GridView ID="vwEmployee" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="EmployeeID" DataSourceID="dsEmployee" OnRowCreated="vwEmployee_RowCreated"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" CommandName="Select" Text="Select" Width="61px" /><br /> <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" /><br /> <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" Width="60px" /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EmployeeID" SortExpression="EmployeeID" Visible="False"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("EmployeeID") %>'></asp:Label> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label14" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("EmployeeID") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="LastName" SortExpression="Last Name"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LastName") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("LastName") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FirstName" SortExpression="First Name"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Position" SortExpression="Title"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Title") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Title") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Title"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox5" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TitleOfCourtesy") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TitleOfCourtesy") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Address" SortExpression="Address"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox6" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Address") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label6" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Address") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="City" SortExpression="City"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox7" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("City") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label7" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("City") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Region" SortExpression="Region"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox8" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Region") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label8" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Region") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Zip" SortExpression="PostalCode"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox9" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PostalCode") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label9" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PostalCode") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Country" SortExpression="Country"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox10" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Country") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label10" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Country") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Phone" SortExpression="HomePhone"> <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox11" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("HomePhone") %>'></asp:TextBox> </EditItemTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Label ID="Label11" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("HomePhone") %>'></asp:Label> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>

I am getting the same crap. I set every width I can find.
<asp:BoundField DataField="Score" HeaderText="Score" ReadOnly="True" > <ItemStyle Width="300px" /> <ControlStyle Width="300px" /> <HeaderStyle Width="300px" /> </asp:BoundField> It never changes anything.

Yeah i hear ya John, I'm hoping to hear something back from MS on this. This
is a managed news group and I still haven't heard anything. I think it is a bug but I'll wait to hear from MS before assuming that. [quoted text, click to view] "John Cantley" wrote:

Hi,
I'll take a stab at this (so I apologize in advance if this isn't right :) I would take a look at the asp:panel that the grid view is in. It has a width set at 642px and, in my testing, it seems that with the width set on a panel control, anything within the panel will try to fit that width. Given that one of your columns is 300px (half the width of the panel almost) and the number of other columns listed (sizes of which are variable) I would guess that the grid view is squeezing itself to fit the panel width. Try, removing the width setting on the panel control, this will allow it to size dynamically, and see if your column widths work then. Good luck Kevin F. [quoted text, click to view] Greg P. wrote:

Kevin,
Thanks for the response, unfortunatly this happens when the gridView is not in a panel also. If I can figure out how I eill attach a copy of my website with the northwind database included. I was attempting to change the width of the notes field from the employee table. Let me know what you think. FYI - ignore the ajax stuff. This was a site I put together to run ajax with out installing it. Thanks, Greg [quoted text, click to view] "Kevin Fernandes" wrote:

Hi Greg,
The attachment didn't get through (that I can tell), not sure if its my end or the news group not supporting it. Sorry my previous suggestion didn't work. I use a lot of GridViews in my work and I even tried a couple of new examples when I saw your message but everything seems to work fine for me. I was only able to repeat the problem you described when I included the GridView in a panel and the panel had its width set. There must be something different, possibly our environments that may be causing this. Here are a couple of more things to look into, just in case: Is the GridView in some other container object, like a div or form that has a width set? How about a master page, I have noticed problems with certain formatting when an item is in a master page. Have you looked at the generated HTML source to see if the formatting is what you expect to be generated? Could it be a browser issue? (I am still using IE 6 and it works fine there). Are you using Skins or other CSS styles that maybe overriding the width? I can post a simple example, if you like, that I just tested and know it works to see if you can get it to work as well. Let me know. I do agree, that it wold be nice to hear from a Microsoft (or moderator) person this as well. Good luck, Kevin F. :) [quoted text, click to view] Greg P. wrote:

Kevin,
no luck so far. I created a new website, added the northwind database and a gridview. I configured the source to show the employee table and still see the same problem. Here is the HTML; you can see that the td for the "notes" column (search the text for width) is set to 150. This doesn't change any thing? I'm curious if you run this page if you see the same thing? I am using IE7 so that is a possibility, but I've even run it on another co workers box and saw the same thing in IE6... I have no idea at this point. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > <head><title> Untitled Page </title></head> <body> <form name="form1" method="post" action="Default.aspx" id="form1"> <div> <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
Kevin,
Found some interesting behavior, the notes column is not close tot he beginning of the table so i set the visible property for the preceding columns to false and saw the correct behavior out of the item style.width property. If you then make the other columns visible again the table get scrunched. This makes me think that the minimumn width for a column would be the header or the longest single word in a column. This seems to be the case, but then I thought that if it was put into a panel there should not be a problems if there werer scroll bar options. This is not true, there seems to be a max width on a window or? Any ideas? FYI: I did also see the behavior you were speaking of where if you put the grid in a panel and the width is set the table will be scrunched into the panel. When I didn't set the width and had the columns visible the table was still scrunched. Thanks, Greg [quoted text, click to view] "Kevin Fernandes" wrote:

Cool, just to confirm, you can reproduce the problem now?

Hi Greg,
I have not had a chance to delve too deeply into this yet but it looks like some kind of HTML limitation not an ASP.NET limit. I created a new page and standard table with all the columns you have in your listing and can repeat the problem in all browsers and editors so far. I will try some more tonight and let you know what else I might have found. Thanks, Kevin F.

Kevin,
I completely agree and have come to the same sort of conclustion. Your idea to set the table size to 300% was the eye opener that really helped illustrate the limitations of an html table. My original assumption was that if you put the table in a panel and activated the scroll bars that there should not be a limitation on the width. Thanks for all of your time and thought into this and I know I learned something, hopefully you did also. Ciao, Greg P [quoted text, click to view] "Kevin Fernandes" wrote:

Yes I am able to repeat the problem, but I am not sure its the answer
your hoping for. The problem is with the HTML table itself. I am not sure I can explain this part properly, maybe someone else with better knowledge can do it, but I think its something like this. By not specifying a width for the table its taking an internal (browser) default value which could be one of two things; fit the columns to the data (and its specified width if any), column headers dictate minimum width as long as the width of all columns is < 100% of the container; or table width is 100%, which ever is smaller. As I said, I probably do not have the correct explanation for this, so hopefully someone else can explain it better. In your case, at least, the case you sent as plain HTML, there are more columns in the table than can possibly fit the width of the browser window (or the containing HTML object i.e. DIV) so its defaulting the table width to 100%, ignoring specified column widths, and sizing the columns to their smallest possible fit (typically the header size). I removed most of the columns from your example and was able to get the column sizing to work correctly. As soon as I added enough columns to make the table larger than the browser window, the specified column sizes were ignored. So you have a few options (there are probably more); 1. Eliminate columns from the GridView that you don't need, to reduce the overall table width (an identity column for instance or employee ID if its not needed). 2. Specify a large width for the GridView, I used 300% on your table, which worked to get your specified column sizes but may not give you the overall result you want. 3. Re-design this view differently, such as a master-detail type view. You would specify the minimum number of columns in the GridView then selecting an item in the GridView would display a DetailsView either on the same or new page, showing all of the detailed information. I typically use master-detail view, showing 3 or 4 columns of information with a select button which brings up a detail view of the information. Sorry for the long-winded response but I hope this helps you out, Kevin F.

Hey Folks: I would like to bump this. Did anyone ever figure the means to get ControlStyle-Width to work properly. I've tried all sorts of combinations and my gridview seems to want to do its own thing, regardless.
