Data Grid Spacing

[Mick Dugan]

Is there a way to "pad" the text in a datagrid so the text isn't completely jambed against the vertical border? I don't want to center the text, just move it over a bit.

If you mean the column caption text, when right aligned, I generally append a space, followed by the pipe character:

 

eg:

 

myDataColumn.HeaderText = "Price |"

Actually, I'm entering the header columns at design time, so adding a space wouldln't be a problem. The column is for price as you alluded to and it dosen't look good having the right aligned column jambed up against the adjacent left aligned column.
