Why dont you specify them in the UI?

It might be possible that adding px or % can make it work, but that is a guess.

try setting the width of the gridview from the UI, by specifying the width in the ItemStyle of the ItemTemplate.

Hi rohankota,

You can do that on the OnRowDataBound event of the gridview.

protected void gvDFR_RowDataBound(object o, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
         e.Row.Cells[0].Width = new Unit("200px");
         e.Row.Cells[1].Width = new Unit("400px");
         // and so on
    }
}

Add this to your Gridview Markup

        onrowdatabound="gvDFR_RowDataBound">    // just add this event and execute the above code
 

or else:

Hope this helps.

hello

rohan

you can give width to gridview using multiple options

1  you can use row databound event to give width

protected void gvDFR_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {

  gvDFR.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width =10 ;

}

2) you can specify width to columns on aspx page using
