GridView Column Formatting

[poe]

Hello,

I have an ASP.NET page that contains a gridview:

<asp:GridView ID="grdLogData" runat="server" BorderStyle="None" CellPadding="5" AllowPaging="True" GridLines="None">
  <RowStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />
  <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="False" Font-Underline="True" HorizontalAlign="Left" CssClass="page-column-label" />
  <EditRowStyle CssClass="lightrow" VerticalAlign="Top" />
  <AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="darkrow" VerticalAlign="Top" />
</asp:GridView>

This gridview gets it data on the server-side from the .NET code:

DBDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(DBQuery, DBConnection)
DBDataTable = New DataTable("VTSLog")
DBDataAdapter.Fill(DBDataTable)

grdLogData.DataSource = DBDataTable
grdLogData.DataBind()

I would like to right-align the list items on columns 4, 5 and 8. Any suggestions?

By the way, I'm targeting the 2.0 .NET framework using Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks,
Justin

There is probably a way you can apply this to a column as a whole, but try this:

for (int i = 0; i < grdLogData.Rows.Count; i++)
{
   grdLogData.Rows[i].Cells[4].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;
   grdLogData.Rows[i].Cells[5].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;
   grdLogData.Rows[i].Cells[8].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;
}

Edit: It's possible this will work:

grdLogData.Columns[4].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;
grdLogData.Columns[5].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;
grdLogData.Columns[8].HorizontalAlign =HorizontalAlign.Right;

Thanks for the advice. The first method you suggested works properly. The second method does not work. Both before and after the data bind the grdLogData.Colu mns.Count is zero; apparently the columns aren't registered since they aren't specified manually.

Thanks Again,
Justin
