Gridview Item Template width

Can someone how can I define an static width for a gridview so the bound objects doesnt auto increase the width of the cells, ( Iam planning to have a fixed size of character on the textboxes)

Will this be done in CSS?

<asp:gridview ID="Gridview2" runat="server" ShowFooter="True" 
            AutoGenerateColumns="False" onrowcreated="Gridview2_RowCreated" 
            EnableModelValidation="True">
            
            <Columns>
         
            <asp:BoundField DataField="RowNumber" HeaderText="Row Number" />
            <asp:TemplateField >
               <HeaderTemplate  >
               <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server">NT-1</asp:Label>
            
            <asp:TextBox ID="txt_Census19" runat="server" Width="50px" ></asp:TextBox>
            </HeaderTemplate>


                <ItemTemplate>
                    Bed:
                    <asp:TextBox ID="txt_Bed19" runat="server" Width="50px"></asp:TextBox>
                    Status:
                    <asp:DropDownList ID="txt_Comment19" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="True" 
                    style="text-align: left" >
                    <asp:ListItem value="0" text="Select">  </asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Assigned</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Blocked Room</asp:ListItem>
                    <asp:ListItem>Open NS</asp:ListItem>
                                      
                </asp:DropDownList>

                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>

Use Code:

<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Header Text" DataField="Datafield" SortExpression="Datafield">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" width="50px" />
<HeaderStyle cssclass="myGridHeader" HorizontalAlign="Center" ForeColor="White" />
</asp:BoundField>

For Template Field Column Use Code:

<asp:TemplateField >
<HeaderTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server">NT-1</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_Census19" runat="server" Width="50px" ></asp:TextBox>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" width="50px" />
<HeaderStyle cssclass="myGridHeader" HorizontalAlign="Center" ForeColor="White" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
