C#

// Create a new worksheet.
using (IXlSheet sheet = document.CreateSheet())
{
    // Create the column "A" and set its width to 100 pixels.
    using (IXlColumn column = sheet.CreateColumn())
    {
        column.WidthInPixels = 100;
    }

    // Create the column D and set its width to 24.5 characters.
    using (IXlColumn column = sheet.CreateColumn(3))
    {
        column.WidthInCharacters = 24.5f;
    }
}

VB.NET

' Create a new worksheet.
Using sheet As IXlSheet = document.CreateSheet()
    ' Create the column "A" and set its width to 100 pixels.
    Using column As IXlColumn = sheet.CreateColumn()
        column.WidthInPixels = 100
    End Using

    ' Create the column D and set its width to 24.5 characters.
    Using column As IXlColumn = sheet.CreateColumn(3)
        column.WidthInCharacters = 24.5F
    End Using
End Using
