Applying Table Style To Grid

[litton1]

I am trying to apply a column style to the table (dtTasks) that is displayed in a grid. I don’t think that it has applied as no matter what size I make the first column width it remains the same. The code I am using is as follows:

System.Windows.Forms.DataGridTableStyle TableStyle1 = new DataGridTableStyle();

TableStyle1.MappingName = "Tasktable";
				
int j=0;
//for(; j<dtTasks.Columns.Count; j++)
//{
DataGridColumnStyle taskNameStyleCol = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
				
taskNameStyleCol.MappingName = "cs" + dtTasks.Columns[j].ColumnName; 
taskNameStyleCol.Width = 200;					
taskNameStyleCol.HeaderText = dtTasks.Columns[j].Caption; //dc.Caption;
taskNameStyleCol.Alignment = System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left ;
taskNameStyleCol.ReadOnly = false;
temp = dtTasks.Columns[j].ColumnName;
					
TableStyle1.GridColumnStyles.Add(taskNameStyleCol);
			
dgTask.AlternatingBackColor = Color.Gainsboro;
dgTask.TableStyles.Add(TableStyle1);
				
dgTask.DataSource = dtTasks;

All help appreciated Thx T.

afiak, setting the datasource resets the datagridtablestyle.

try moving "dgTask.DataSource = dtTasks;" to the beginning of the code.

Hi, thanks for your reply, sorted it now and that was one of the problems. Also the mapping style (for the column) name did not match the DC name lol, Thx again for your time.
