DataGridTableStyle question

[lauriemc]

I am in the process of re-writing a vb.net windows application into a vb.net web application. I have a problem.

 

In the vb.net windows app I used the DataGridTableStyle to successfully format a grid (datagrid) within code. The code looked something like this:

 

Dim dgts1 As New DataGridTableStyle

With dgts1

.MappingName = sptable

End With

 

Dim grdColumn1 As New DataGridTextBoxColumn

With grdColumn1

.MappingName = "Unit_Number" ' mapping to SQL Server column name

.HeaderText = "Unit"

.Width = 45

End With

dgts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(grdColumn1)

 

And so on......

 

but in the web development environment, it is not recognizing the DataGridTableStyle. So my question is, what can I use in place of it, so that I can format my 'gridview' in code.

 

Thank you,

Are you using the DataGrid or the GridView?

 

My memory is fuzzy on DataGrid, but GridView [which is very much the same only better] works like this:

 

<ItemStyle-Width="45" />

 

Use that inside your item templates.

 

I'm sure you can access the properties from CodeBehind -- check the intelisense on your gridview item. (I'd use the OnRowDataBinding Event).
