                                                                        <asp:Label ID="Deleted" runat="server" Style="word-wrap: break-word;" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.EmpId_Temp") %>'></asp:Label>
                                                                    
</itemtemplate>
                                                                    <headerstyle width="7%" />
                                                                </asp:TemplateColumn>

Here the above style does work with compatibility view of IE 8 browser. But without compatibility view its going out of the gridview.

Refer- Gridview text not wrapping in IE8[^]

Quote:
I have looked at your problem. Its seems this is an issue of IE8 or the word-wrap is not valid as per new HTML standard.

A grid view is rendered as table and the data you pass in the gridview, directly goes inside a TD s. And in ie 8 even if we put word -wrap in TD , it does not work.

One way you can solve your problem by using TemplateField. You can add your data inside a container like DIV and give the word-wrap:break-word and the width property. Like-

ASP.NET
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Display On Issue Summ?" HeaderStyle-Width="40%" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center"
    ItemStyle-Width="40%">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <div style="word-wrap: break-word; width: 300px; border: solid 1px red;">
            <%#Eval("DisplayOnIssueSummary") %></div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
