I am trying to set the witdth of the datagrid's 1st column so that the
second column butts up next to the edge. But this doesn't work. Any
ideas??

Dim colJD As New DataColumn
Dim colAmt As New DataColumn
'Define Column Job Description
colJD.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
colJD.ColumnName = "JobDescription"
colJD.Caption = "Job Description"
colJD.ReadOnly = False
tblJD.Columns.Add(colJD)
'Define Column Amount
colAmt.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Decimal")
colAmt.ColumnName = "Amount"
colAmt.Caption = "Amount"
colAmt.ReadOnly = False
tblJD.Columns.Add(colAmt)
dgJobDesc.DataSource = tblJD

Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "JobDescription"
Dim textcol As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
textcol.MappingName = "JobDescription"
textcol.HeaderText = "Job Description"
textcol.Width = 300
textcol.ReadOnly = False
ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(textcol)

DirectCast(dgJobDesc.DataSource, _
DataTable).DefaultView.AllowNew = False
dgJobDesc.TableStyles.Add(ts)

Thank you,

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the lead, it worked.

How then do I control the datagrid so that different rows have
different heights? I am creating a small invoicing app and the user
wants to enter long descriptions which might wrap to several visual
rows. a) How do I determine how many rows are needed and then b) how
do I change that row so that all the data can be seen?

Thanks,
