Try:

C#

foreach (DataGridViewColumn c in dataGridView1.Columns)
           {
               //the if statement depents on how you can search your data
               if (c.Name == "TheNameOfTheColumn")
               {
                   c.Width = 250;
               }
               if (c.HeaderText == "TheHeaderTextYouWant")
               {
                   c.Width = 500;
               }
           }

C#

protected void Grid1_RowDataBound(object sender, Obout.Grid.GridRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == GridRowType.DataRow)
        {
           e.Row.Cells[1].Width = (what ever you want(int value only));


        }


}

just try it :)
int newwidth = LongestField(dataSet11, "Employees", "Title");

// Create new Table Style
DataGridTableStyle ts = new DataGridTableStyle();
ts.MappingName = "Employees";
this.dataGrid1.TableStyles.Clear();
this.dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts);

// Assign New Width to DataGrid column
this.dataGrid1.TableStyles["Employees"].GridColumnStyles["Title"].Width = newwidth;
