Hello,

I have UnBound GridView - C# ASP.Net and I am refreshing this by query.
I have below code -

SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Entry_Date, Emp_Name, Qunatity, Comments From Activity_Master", SqlCon);
System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable();
adp.Fill(dt);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();

I want to set Column width = 50 of "Comments" column and want Warp.

C#

GridView1.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = 50;
      GridView1.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Wrap = true;

This gives me below error.

SQL

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

How do resolve this. Please help.

Hi,

Try setting your column width and wrapping style after binding the grid.
use this flow:

C#

if(!IsPostBack){
   SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Entry_Date, Emp_Name, Qunatity,             
        Comments From Activity_Master", SqlCon);
   System.Data.DataTable dt = new System.Data.DataTable();
   adp.Fill(dt);
   GridView1.DataSource = dt;
   GridView1.DataBind();
}
GridView1.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = 50;
GridView1.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Wrap = true;

All the best..
