Gridview column width issue

Setting the ItemStyle-Width as suggested should work. Alternatively, if you really want to control how the text is wrapped within the column then you may want to do something like this:

protected void dList_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
Label lblEmail = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblEmail");
if (lblEmail != null && lblEmail.Text.Length > 55)
{
lblEmail.Text = SplitStringByNumberOfChar(lblEmail.Text.Trim(), 35);
}
}
}
public static string SplitStringByNumberOfChar(string strdata, Int32 intsize)
{
Int32 intsize1 = intsize;
string[] data;
int k = 0;
char[] delimeters = { ' ' };
string strcontent = "";
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strdata))
{
data = strdata.Split(delimeters);
for (int c = 0; c < data.Length; c++)
{
if (data[c].Length > intsize1)
{
// int countchar = data[c].Length();
int l;
int count = 0;
l = data[c].Length % intsize1;
if (l < 0)
{
count++;
}
for (int i = 0; i < ((data[c].Length + l) / intsize1) + 1; i++)
{
if (i != 0)
{
try
{
if (!data[c].ToString().Contains(" "))
{
data[c] = data[c].Insert(k, "
");
}
}
catch
{
}
}
if (i == 0)
{
k = k + intsize1;
}
else
{
k = k + intsize1 + 5;
}
}
strcontent += data[c].ToString() + " ";
}
else
{
strcontent += data[c].ToString() + " ";
}
}
}
else
{
strcontent = strdata;
}
return strcontent;
}

"but i write the email id without any space so i think its not breaking"

Then you have to do some code to handle that. The code that I provided should do that trick.

You need to set width of all column individually based on the content that is going to come in the column so it automatically calculate and generate width automatically

Define ItemStyle-Width for all TemplateField instead of just a single one

Hope it help you out
