GridView - canShrink, canGrow??? PageSize?

[randysmid]

Hi ALL,
Is there anything that I can do that will shrink or grow the size of my GridView, based on the number of rows?

For instance, I've set the PageSize to 7, but oftentimes I'll only have one row of data. Othertimes I might have 50 rows of data. Since I have other fields on the aspx form, I don't want to waste the space unless absolutely necessary.

Many thanks, Randy

You can do it in the codebehind...

if (gridview1.rows.count = ??)
{
gridview1.wodth = ??;
}

if it is going to go off the page then you can put it into a panel and build it dynamically like this.

gridview x = new gridview;
panel p = new panel;

x.cssclass = "Style";
x.datasource = data;
x.databind();

p.controls.add(x);

//In the style sheet

.Style
{
Overflow:auto;
height:300;
width:500;
}

Then your grid will have a scroll bar when it grows past your set size
