Easy Datagrid question

[AC]

Any reason i'm having trouble with:

DataGrid1.Columns(7).ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign =
HorizontalAlign.Right

I'm trying to directly set the column alignment of a
datagrid created at runtime..

Are you setting it before or after the databind?

I think if you set it before it will work. Let me know if it does. I usually
set the item alignment in the html, but I've noticed other properties
behaving differently at runtime depending on whether they are set before or
after a databind so I think this might be one of them.

That doesn't work... question: how do you set in html if
you add the columns at runtime?

it does. I usually

I don't add the columns at runtime. I add them in the html also.

<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server" autogeneratecolumns="False">
<itemstyle HorizontalAlign="Left" VerticalAlign="Top" forecolor="Black"
backcolor="White"></itemstyle>
<columns>
<asp:boundcolumn datafield="LastName" headertext="Last Name">
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Then I just databind. As long as the columns datafield matches a column in
the datatable or dataview bound to the grid it self fills.
