I am trying to build a datagrid that is customizable by my clients.

I can hide and show columns or changes sizes of the Columns or DataGrid 
itslef from the Page_PreRender event that works pretter well.

   DataGrid1.Width = new Unit("551px")
   for each col as DataGridColumn in DataGrid1.Columns
     if col.HeaderText = "Company" orElse col.HeaderText = "Posted" then
      col.Visible = false
     end if
   next

The sizing of the DataGrid (shown above) only works if the size is set by 
"Width", ie:

      <anthem:DataGrid
       Visible=true
       AllowSorting="false"
       AutoGenerateColumns="false"
       CellPadding="0"
       CellSpacing="0"
       ID="DataGrid2"
       runat="server"
       ShowFooter="false"
       ShowHeader="true"
       OnSortCommand="SortDataGrid"
       BorderWidth="0"
       BorderColor="#999999"
       Width="701px"
       style="padding-right:5px">

If, however, I tried to use a style - the style seems to get applied AFTER 
the PreRender event, ie:

      <anthem:DataGrid
       Visible=true
       AllowSorting="false"
       AutoGenerateColumns="false"
       CellPadding="0"
       CellSpacing="0"
       ID="DataGrid2"
       runat="server"
       ShowFooter="false"
       ShowHeader="true"
       OnSortCommand="SortDataGrid"
       BorderWidth="0"
       BorderColor="#999999"
       style="padding-right:5px;width=701px">

In this example, the size of the table would be 701px instead of the 551px I 
changed it to in the PreRender.  The first example works fine:

How can I do this in the PreRender section (or another area) if the size is 
set in a style?

Thanks,

Tom

If width is set by means of style then change style.
DataGrid1.Style["width"] = "551px";
