Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v22.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(typeof(Unit), "")]
public virtual Unit Width { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(GetType(Unit), "")>
Public Overridable Property Width As Unit

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Unit	String.Empty	A Unit structure that represents the column’s width.

Remarks

The Width property specifies the width for the WebColumnBase class’s derived objects. The WebColumnBase class serves as a base class for the following objects:

• Web Forms and MVC Grid-like components’ columns.
• Gantt columns.
• ListBox columns.
• and others.

Note

It is recommended that you specify the Width property in pixels or percentage to ensure grid columns’ correct render. In certain scenarios (for example, the use of the Min or Max column widths) the grid’s internal calculation algorithm may calculate the column width incorrectly if you specify column widths in other units (em, pt and others).

Example

        <dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="CompanyName" Width="180" FixedStyle="Left" />
        <dx:GridViewDataColumn FieldName="City" Width="130" />
        ...
