DataGrid column width

[davearia]

Hi All,

I am trying to customise my columns on a datagrid. I have used code similar to this before, however my code is not altering the column widths.
Here is the code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim mydgTableStyle As New DataGridTableStyle
        Dim mygrdColStyle1 As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
        Dim mygrdColStyle2 As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
        DataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear()
        With mydgTableStyle
            .MappingName = "ds.tables(0)"
        End With
        With mygrdColStyle1
            .HeaderText = "Email Address"
            .MappingName = "Email"
            .Width = 400
        End With
        With mygrdColStyle2
            .HeaderText = "Date Signed"
            .MappingName = "DateSigned"
            .Width = 60
        End With
        mydgTableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(mygrdColStyle1)
        mydgTableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(mygrdColStyle2)
        Try
            DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(mydgTableStyle)
            DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try
End Sub

The datagrid populates from the dataset ds with no problems but the column names and column widths that I attempted to enforce have absolutely no effect.

Please help.

Thanks, Dave.
