Hi,
Try this

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender,
GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
GridView1.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Width =300;
GridView1.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Wrap = false;
}
}

(or)

for button click

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.Columns.Count; i++)
{
GridView1.Columns[i].ItemStyle.Width = 300;
GridView1.Columns[i].ItemStyle.Wrap = false;
}

Solution 3

XML

In the Source on the page you can go in BoundField column and change its size right there.
example:
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="City"; DataField="VARCHARCITY"; ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" ItemStyle-Width="250px"/>
