Data that contains extra spaces
-
Hi Mayl :) Did you want the datagrid to discard the extra spaces, so no matter how many spaces there are, then it should only display one space...?

Um... if the field contains "Contain Three spaces", and it's displaying in your DataGrid as "Contain Three spaces", what exactly is the problem?

I get it now :) It's standard behavior in a browser to compress your three spaces as one (which is what it has done in your posts, too). My guess is that if you view the resulting page source in your browser, the values have been outputted with the three spaces. To ensure literal spaces, you can use the entity
(non-breaking space). You might want to use a custom function in your grid column's ItemTemplate that would replace a " " character with " ". -

If you want the DataGrid to display all the spaces, then subscribe to the DataGrid's
ItemDataBoundevent, and add code like this:private void dgSampleSort_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
e.Item.Cells[0].Text = e.Item.Cells[0].Text.Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ");

Hi Mike I had modified my sql statement - select replace(filename, ' ',' ') from table It displays the extra spaces correctly, however, my datagrid does not wrap (I have ItemStyle-Wrap="True"). Any ideas? thank you
Hmmm... yea, it wouldn't wrap because is a non-breaking space... Well, one more thing you could try is to use your spaces as they are (no replacement for 's) and surround the value in a
<span style="white-space: pre;">tag orstyle="white-space: pre-wrap". I'm not sure what the browser support for thewhite-spacestyle attribute is though. -

Hi I added it but it didn't work. so I changed my sql statement (select replace(file_name, ' ',' ') from table) and it worked. However, the datagrid does not wrapped even though I have ItemStyle-Wrap="True". Any ideas? thank you
Do you have fixed width on the columns? That may help to force a linebreak.
