I have a gridview control that can get loaded with multiple pages worth of data. When I switch pages, the columns widths will change to accommodate the largest value in the column for that page.
If possible, I would like to set the widths of each column to the widest necessary width for the entire dataset.
You can set the ItemStyle-Width property on each TemplateField, BoundField, etc. in your gridview to whatever you want. That should hold across paging. You will want to either not set the gridview width, or be sure you don’t use a percentage if you do.
If you want to figure this out dynamically, you will have to examine your data first, before binding your grid, figure out the width that you want, then bind your gird and dynamically set the ItemStyle-Width in the RowDataBound event of the gridview.
