Setting the Column Width for SPGridView in custom web part

Question

I have a custom web part which I am adding in SharePoint. This web part contains a SPGridView which has 4 columns. The same web part is added twice to the page but displays different data based on the web part properties.

But the column widths in both the web parts is not same. I tried using ItemStyle property to set the width of the columns but it is not working for me.

How can we set the width of the SPGridView columns programatically?

Answer 1

the column width will depend on the data... well if not programmatically may be you can define the style attributes using CSS and then apply it

Answer 2

Try setting the width of the columns in the ItemStyle.Width property (Template field, Bound field, etc) if you don't have a css in place. Or try the CSS property of the ItemStyle of that field.
