Datagridview column size 2

[morfasie]

Hi,

I am trying to set the column size of the datagridview. with the statement : datagridview1.columns[0].width = 20

but it gives me the following error : property access must assign to the property or use its value?


Can anybody help please?

Try this. Maybe this will help. I hope it does!

If viable in your situation you can look into the AllowAutoColumnFit property as well

Hi,

thanks for replies, unfortunately it is not what I am looking for. I want to adjust one column in a datagridview. If I use, datagridview1.column[0].width = 20, it gives an error?


why is that?

thanks

DataGridView1.Columns(0).Width = [COLOR=red][b]"[/b][/color]20[COLOR=red][b]"[/b][/color]

Try

DataGridView1.Columns.Item(0).Width = 20

That should do the trick.

Hi Noel,

unfortunately isn't doing anything, not changing the width of the column.

Hi Morfasie,

I actually posted that reply before seeing zmrAbdulla's post. Did his suggestion sort your problem?

If not can you post a copy of your code as i've tested both zmrAbdulla's and my suggestions on a datagrid that i'm working on and it appears to work as you require.

Regards,
Noel.

Sorry everybody, stupid me, didn't see that I had the following command before the = "20"

DataGridView3.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells



It works fine now!! Thanks
