    GridView BoundField Width

    Why does it seem like is impossible to set the width of a BoundField
    in a GridView. I've tried all sorts of different way to set the width
    and none of them work. So far the only thing I've done that has worked
    is to set the Wrap property to false which is not what I want do.

    Can anyone tell me now to set the column width of a GridView in the
    aspx file code?

      Re: GridView BoundField Width

      This works in a DetailsView so I think it should in a GridView:
      <asp:BoundFie ld DataField="Your FieldName" HeaderText="You r Field
      Label" SortExpression= "YourFieldN ame" >
      <ControlStyle Width="500px" />
      <ItemStyle Width="500px" />
      </asp:BoundField>

          I just tried the following and it doesn't work.

          <asp:BoundFie ld DataField="Comm ents" HeaderText="Com ments"
          SortExpression= "Comments" >
          <ControlStyle Width="500px" />
          <ItemStyle Width="500px" />
          </asp:BoundField>
