Does anyone know of a way to resize a gridview based on the size of
the data being placed inside the gridview. For example my gridview is
populated dynamically from any number of different tables. Some with
only a few columns and some with many columns with large amounts of
data. I want to have the gridview property Gridview1.Width =
Unit.Pixel(400) when small and something like Gridview1.Unit.Pixel
(900) when many columns are brought back.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Use the GridVIew1.Columns.Count property during the
GridView1.DataBound event to decide what value to set GridView1.Width
