Hi my friends,

I'm using a DataGrid Control to display a DataTable from Dataset. I can
display it in default format. I want to adjust the width of each column. I
went to properties of DataGrid control and set TableStyles and added
gridcolumnstyles in GridColumnStyles collection. But it doesn't work. Why.

I also tried to following code:
DataGridTableStyle tbstyle=new DataGridTableStyle();

DataGridTextBoxColumn paidtostyle=new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

paidtostyle.Width=400;

DataGridTextBoxColumn amountstyle=new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

amountstyle.Width=150;

DataGridTextBoxColumn paiddatestyle=new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

paiddatestyle.Width=100;

DataGridTextBoxColumn memostyle=new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

memostyle.Width=100;


tbstyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(paidtostyle);

tbstyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(amountstyle);

tbstyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(paiddatestyle);

tbstyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(memostyle);

dataGridPaidHistory.TableStyles.Add(tbstyle);

It does not work either, what's wrong with it?

Than's ahead.

Hi,

I don't see where you set the tablestyles mapping name

Hello Ken,

Thank you very much for your help. I have got it.
DataGridTableStyle tbstyle=new DataGridTableStyle();

tbstyle.MappingName=myDataSet.Tables["PaidHIstory"].ToString();

Try also setting ths MappingName of the tablestyle to be the DataTable name
before you add it to the grid's TablesStyles..

tbstyle.MappingName =
((DataTable)dataGridPaidHistory.DataSource).TableName;
