Question

On my windows form, I need to programatically set the width of columns in the grid view. I am using the following code:

this.dgridv.Columns[columnName].Width = columnWidth;

The above stmt runs without any error. But, the column width remains unchanged. If I insert a breakpoint and check the value of width after the stmt runs, it is still 100, which I guess is the default value of datagrid column width.

Is there something else I need to do apart from this? Are there any values I need to set before changing the column width?

Any help or pointers on this are highly appreciated.

Thanks 🙂

This worked:

this.dgridv.Columns[columnName].AutoSizeMode= DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.None;
this.dgridv.Columns[columnName].Width = columnWidth;

To reset it back, I am using:

dgvCol.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells;
