datagrid blows out page width when in edit mode

[Moe Sizlak]

Hi There,

I wanted to know if I alter the width of a datagrid when in edit mode? I
have a datagrid which has a lot of columns and I waas wondering if I can
make it smaller so that it fits into the page?

cheers

Hi Moe,

Did you know that there are newsgroups

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
and
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.datagridcontrol.

Probably there is someone who can answer you on your questions without even
to think.
