May be the CSS class which you have applied to the grid, may have different text alignment. check your css class.

I agree with Karthik. Please check your CSS.

XML

<asp:BoundField DataField="MC" HeaderText="MC" SortExpression="MC">
     <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</asp:BoundField>

Just post the answer, instead of a hyperlink to another website!!

It's fairly common to just post links. Firstly, there may be other discussions and/or alternatives discussed. Secondly it encourages the understanding that most of the questions asked here could be answered by the OP themselves with a little research.
If you are going to provide the answer then it's also fairly common to use the code from the OPs question and explain the differences - e.g. HeaderText should be "Description" not "MC". How does SortExpression help with justification of text, etc

if you don't want use cssClas you can use this.

col5.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = 3

1 to Left, 2 to Center and 3 to Right

Setting the HorizontalAlign property is precisely what the previous two solutions suggested.

Using the numeric value of the enum, rather than the named value, simply makes the code less readable.
