Grid question

[dymadarlin]

Hi there,
I've got a grid which is used thisway:

Dim tmp As DataSet = MyDataSet
DataGrid1.SetDataBinding(tmp, "MyTableName")

How can I:

1) Change the captions of the columns to something rather than the name of the column in the Database

2) Change the width of the Columns


Thanks

You need to apply a tablestyle to your datagrid.

Hi

I'm looking at this myself at the moment and have been working from the following msdn article. You may find it helpful

I haven't managed to get it fully working yet, but will try tonight.

Let me know how you get on

Shake,
Here is how i edit my datagrid properties.
'Map the style to the dataset table. In this case I only use one table
' in my query.

Dim GridColumnStyle As GridColumnStylesCollection


myGridTableStyle.MappingName = "Trial"
dgPacking.TableStyles.Add(myGridTableStyle)
myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(1).Width = 245
myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(1).ReadOnly = True
myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(0).HeaderText = "Place Header text here"
myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(0).ReadOnly = True
myGridTableStyle.AllowSorting = False
