Hi, Can u tell us exactly how u r setting the width of columns in the datagrid? Thanks and Regards, Chetan Ranpariya

The text has come to the width which I set now but the column width has not changed.

[Chetan Ranpariya]

Hi, Not getting the problem. You want your columns to be with fixed width or u want them to be resize as per the length of content?

I have a description column in my data grid. In the datagrid I don't want to show full description. only I want to show full description in details view.

Hi, Then you should explicitly trim you description value coming from the database. This you can do in the ItemDataBound event of the datagrid. private void dg_ItemDataBound(object sender, DatagridItemEventArgs e) { if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternateItem) { if(e.Item.Cells[2].Text.Legth > 50) { e.Item.Cells[2].Text=e.Item.Cells[2].Text.Substring(0, 49) + "..."; } } } Here column 2 in the datagrid is bound to the description field of the datasource. I hope this will help you. Thanks and Regards, Chetan Ranpariya

Thanks, I am very new to this field can u help me if I am giving this in codebehind and should I do anything in source code(Template feild).

Hi, Put this is in codebehind and replace "private" with "public" and u have to do one thing in the .aspx file. set "OnItemDataBound" property of datagrid to "dg_ItemDataBound". I hope this will help you. Thanks and Regards, Chetan Ranpariya
