This must have been covered a lot of times, but I still cannot seem to get
this work. I have a data table called "dt" and a data grid, "dg". The data
table is not part of a data set.

Here is my code. What am I doing wrong?
______________________________________
dg.SetDataBinding(dt, Nothing)

Dim dgts As DataGridTableStyle = New DataGridTableStyle

dgts.MappingName = "dt"

For i As Integer = 1 To 10

Dim CStyle As New DataGridTextBoxColumn

CStyle.Width = i * 100

dgts.GridColumnStyles.Add(CStyle)

Next

dg.TableStyles.Add(dgts)

dg.TableStyles("dt").GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 500

dg.TableStyles("dt").GridColumnStyles(1).Width = 2500

dg.Refresh()

_____________________________________________

Thanks for any help.
 
i didn't adapt it to your case but this is working here (drgMain is the
datagrid)
hope it helps

dsForm = New DataSet("data")
dsForm = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(gstrCnn, CommandType.Text, strSql)
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "Table"

dgrMain.TableStyles.Clear()

dgrMain.SetDataBinding(dsForm, "Table")

dgrMain.TableStyles.Add(ts)
ts.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 0
ts.GridColumnStyles(1).Width = 100
ts.GridColumnStyles(2).Width = 50
ts.GridColumnStyles(3).Width = 200

ts.AllowSorting = True
ts.AlternatingBackColor = Color.Lavender
ts.BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke
ts.ForeColor = Color.MidnightBlue
ts.GridLineColor = Color.Gainsboro
ts.HeaderBackColor = Color.MidnightBlue
ts.HeaderForeColor = Color.WhiteSmoke
ts.LinkColor = Color.Navy
ts.SelectionBackColor = Color.Navy
ts.SelectionForeColor = Color.Lavender
ts.ColumnHeadersVisible = True
 
I am still having troubles. I wonder if it is becuse my data table isn't a
SQL table, but merely one I constucted myself. I guess I need to play with
this some more.

Thanks for the input.

Michael
