Description

This is a simple example of how to dynamically set the column width in a DataGrid control. I spent hours trying to find something that seemed to me should have been a simple help example. I hope I can save somebody some time.

Dim myGridTableStyle As DataGridTableStyle = New DataGridTableStyle()
    'Map the style to the dataset table. In this case I only use one table
    ' in my query.
    myGridTableStyle.MappingName = "Insured"
    grdQuotes.TableStyles.Add(myGridTableStyle)
    myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 0
    myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(1).Width = 250
    myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles(2).Width = 250
