Many of the server controls have a Width property. Looking at the MSDN
Library documentation that comes with the beta (e.g. WebControl.Width
Property), it is a variable of type Unit. Delving deeper, the UnitMembers
are Parse, Percentage, Pixel, and Point. However, I can not get anything to
work other than an integer value, as in:
cText.Width=75;
where cText is a TableCell, in this case.

My questions:
1. What unit is 75 in this example? The only thing I am sure of is that it
is not Percentage.
2. How do I specify Percentage? I have tried everything I can think of,
but all result in a compiler error of some sort.

Thanks.

Try using the following:

cText.Width = Unit.Percentage(75);
or
Unit.Pixel(75);
etc.

Thanks for your reply. Neither one of these causes a compiler error.
However...

Unit.Pixel(75) seems to work and confirms that
cText.Width=75;
actually setting a pixel width.

Unit.Percentage(75) gives the same full screen width no matter what value I
put in there.

Under any circumstances I have set
cText.Wrap=false;
yet the text still wraps even when I have set the column width to be
something very narrow.

Might it matter if the header column does not have the width property set?

Thanks.
