Hi, First, set the property "AutoSizeMode" to "NotSet" for the column. Then set the "width" to desired length. Manoj

What I want the datagrid to do, is to auto-resize. It does that already when something longer is inserted into the datagrid. But it does not shrink, when something shorter is inserted from the datasource. I would prefer to let the framework handle the sizing.. I really do not want to program this - since this datagrid is one among many with this problem. It's pretty standard behaviour to resize columns according to their content. Why is it that the column width does rezise for strings which are longer, but does not resize for strings which are shorter. Sounds to me like I have to reset the width to standard widths each time I instantiate the datasource? Hm...
