width of Columns of ViewGrid in .NET C#

I've done something similar with the older datagrid.  You need to loop through columns and set the width dynamically.

I can't find the old datagrid example that gave me the inspiration but found a gridview link.

Check out the GridView1_RowDataBound example in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178296.aspx

Ohmg... I need clear Oracle Database Zone's

and that's it

Thanks

I do It something like your link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178296.aspx

but i receive this message


Index was out of range. Must be a non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Ok; this is different;

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count   -  1; i++)  //try minus 1
{
GridView1.Columns[i].ItemStyle.Wrap = True;  //SET to TRUE
//If the Wrap property is false, the column is automatically resized.
}

//for product column
GridView1.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 138;
//for other1 column
GridView1.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width = 140;
//for other2 column
GridView1.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Width = 100;

Select allOpen in new window

>>Index was out of range. Must be a non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

The index was our of range, maybe because you oversize the index;
eq.,
GridView1.Columns[   2<if you have 3 columns, because it starts on 0 not 1>    ].ItemStyle.Width = 100;

I realized that "GridView1.Columns.Count"= 0

So when i go to column 0, dont find it ....

Yes, maybe you put the code before the GridView Starts to Load
Put the code snippet after the codes load during startup
eq.,
Page_Load....begin
...
...other codes here that database retrieved to GridView
...
codes here..
...

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count   -  1; i++)  //try minus 1
{
GridView1.Columns[i].ItemStyle.Wrap = True;  //SET to TRUE
//If the Wrap property is false, the column is automatically resized.
}
...
GridView1.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 138;
...

Select allOpen in new window

Page_Load....end

I have a little time to mess with this.  Can you post your datagrid declaration?

Also, where is the 'product' stored?  I assume it's outside the datagrid but is it a label, textbox, ???

Ok I have a soo big viewgrid with SQL DataSource,

On the DB SQL i have somethin like this....

Type-----Brand--------volume---------amount------date
VINES     California         5                 15000            25/01/11
VINES     California         4                  1120             27/01/11
SODAS   Good4you       12                 890               13/01/11
VINES     St.Ethiene         1                 450               25/01/11


In C# .NET i have next

string type;
string sell; //(SELL IN OTHER PART OF CODE, CAN BE "amount","volume")
if (type.Equals("VINES"))
{

SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT [California], [St.Ethiene], [Total]   FROM (SELECT                                                                                                                                                           .                                               [Brand], [" + sell+ "] FROM [Sicom].[dbo].[jde11$] where Type='VINES'" +
                          " and mes='1') p PIVOT (SUM([" + sell+ "]) FOR [Brand] IN ( [California], [St.Ethiene], "+  .                         "[Total])) AS pvt";
        GridView1.DataBind();
        GridView1.Visible = true;
}

everything works fine....
but when i show it...

the columns move a lot....

the grids are not aligned, that is why we need to encode the column width depending on the type or some other idea.

the other option I've found is to make a grid for each product, but would take more than 100 grids .... is not feasible

>>the other option I've found is to make a grid for each product

The sample you posted looks like you are already using multiple grids:
GRIDVIEW1
...
GRIDVIEW2
...
GRIDVIEW3
...

I'm confused.  You mentioned in http:#a35001245 you didn't want multiple gridviews.  The code you posted confirms you do have multiple gridviews.

Why not just one?

Sorry I do not explain well...
Ok Go Again!!...

I have 15 GridView, but the GV's have 15 columns

I dont work only whit a one GV, because I havent make a Query in SQL that get the information that i need...

So you are wanting ALL the gridviews on the page to have the same widths?

Why can't you specify the same gridview layout for all of them?  In other words: the same fixed widths hardcoded on the design.

Uhmmm Somethin like this...

when type of product is Vines.... the width of ALL GV is 1900 px

whent type is Sodas the Width of ALL GV is 1600 px

and bla bla bla


How I Do these???
""Why can't you specify the same gridview layout for all of them?  In other words: the same fixed widths hardcoded on the design."

No.  Why not set all to 1900px if that is the largest one. Do away with the whole 'dynamic' issue.

Even if you don't have the sql set up to return a single result, can you possibly merge the datasets and use a single grid?

I did.
But I do not work at all, because the columns do not align
I need fixed columns depending on the type

Did you set a fixed size for the columns or just the grid itself?

I'v not done much with gridview but have a lot of datagrid experience.  With datagrids I could set item widths of the individual columns in the grid without doing in code.

I need set a fixed size for columns.... the problem its that i've AutoGenerateColumns = true;

Because the columns change depending on the tyoe
