GridView Bind to DataTable Session.. ItemStyle.Wrap?? 2

[tqeonline]

Hey Guys... I have a Gridview that is binding to a DataTable that I have stored in a session.

i have put this code:

        'sets all the columns to not Wrap
        For x = 0 To gvResults.Columns.Count - 1
            gvResults.Columns(x).ItemStyle.Wrap = False
        Next x

In every single option I can think of.
Right after the databind()...
gvResults_*Every single drop down item*

And nothing can make the rows on the gvResults table to not wrap.

I have tried doing

For X = 0 to 10
...

And everytime it comes back as an index error.

The Gridview is inside an UpdatePanel... is that why i can't grab it?

This should ideally be done from the client side using CSS to style your table. Have a read up on the "white-space: nowrap;" css attribute and if you get any problems try posting in the HTML/CSS forum.

I echo mark's comments. presentation concerns should be handled by the client via CSS. try to avoid using the server control style properties. At most you can set the ClassName property which assigns the value(s) to the class attribute on the DOM. but avoid everything else, it actually makes it difficult to write clean, maintainable, understandable code.

one other side note. where the data comes from has nothing to do with how the data is presented. that's the beauty of separation of concerns.

Thanks guys you lead me in the right direction!

.DataWebControlStyle td
{
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Then assign the Gridview to that CSS. Got it working perfectly.

Thanks for the help!
