Kevin,
Your assumption was correct, it is for a WinForm datagrid.
I dug the CoDe magazine out with your article. This must have been where I got the idea about saving the column widths from (and here I thought I came up with that great idea <s>).

An exception is thrown when I run the following code:

MessageBox.Show(this.dataGrid2.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[10].Width.ToString());

The exception that was thrown was:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.  Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

I did some investigation and it turns out that:
this.dataGrid2.TableStyles.Count is equal to 0
so that must be the problem. VisibleColumnCount is equal to 16 in my case.

Any idea why TableStyles.Count is equal to 0 (zero)?
