I am using a MDI layout and I was wondering if there is a way to have the
grids on the child forms resize based on the users resolution?

Hi Peryan,
I'm not sure I understand the question. Resizing the control is nothing to do with the grid itself. The grid is no different in this regard than any other control. You can anchor or dock it to the form.
If you want to resize the columns, then I would recommend using the PerformAutoResize method on the column which will size the column to it's contents. Be sure to use the right overload the this method, though. If yuo don't specify any parameters, it will only size to the visible rows.

Is there a way to assign auto resizing of columns via CSS or via DisplayLayout properties in Visual Studio?

There's no property to automatically always resize the columns. If you set AllowColSizing to Auto, it will automatically size the columns initially when the grid is first painted, but after that if you scroll or change the data, the columns will not resize again. If you want the columns to resize, you must call the PerformAutoResize method. This way, you control when the columns are sized.

When I set "<DisplayLayout ...AllowColSizingDefault="Auto" ....
I get the following error:
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Cannot create an object of type 'Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebGrid.AllowSizing' from its string representation 'Auto' for the 'AllowColSizingDefault' property.
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.832; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.832
Is there another way to set this property on the grid?

This is a webgrid question and should be handled by that forum. This message was posted in the WinGrid forum.

Here's what appears at the top of my page:
Infragistics Forums » NetAdvantage for ASP.NET » Grids » WebGrid » Have Grid Automatically Resize from Resolution settings?
Looks like we're in the WebGrid forum. If I'm missing something, please suggest a new URL.

I moderated it to the correct group after posting. It was originally in the WinGrid forum, which is why Mike Saltzman was trying to answer it.

The grid does not have an auto resize feature.
The best you can try to do is to set the grid's width/height to 100% of
its container (or browser window), and even in that case some event
handling (onresize) and java scripting help might be needed (grid.resize
method) to give the grid desired size.
Then regarding the cell text, it is being cut off when there are pixel
settings for width/height of the columns/rows. So for the column width
you can try either leaving it empty or giving it a % value
(DisplayLayout.ColWidthDefault and then off every column.Width). For the
row height, it might be defaulted to a pixel value by a css class, try
overriding it by the CustomRules off the RowStyleDefault:
DisplayLayout.RowStyleDefault.CustomRules = "height:auto;".

As for AllowColSizing property values, it has only three: NotSet, Fixed,
and Free, none of which refers to auto sizing.

Hope this info helps.
