Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I guess I am a little confused now :)
Here is what I did. I added a datagrid to my form, then I set the datagrid's DataSource to dataTable1, then added a binding manager to the grid. Then when I run my app the rows in dataTable1 will show up in my grid. At this point I do not have any TableStyles or any GridColumnStyles in my TableStyles. If I add a TableStyle and add some GridColumnStyles and then set the width to different values I can show those widths in a messagebox using the code from your article, but the column widths are not what I see in the grid at run-time and if I change the column widths at run-time the column widths in my messageboxes does not change.

Please let me know if any of this makes sense or if it doesn't. Do I somehow have to link the tablestyle to the view of the grid or something?
