Hector,
Thanks for your reply. I downloaded your example but I noticed that I need to have SQL server installed (or MSDE) (I guess I will need to install MSDE eventually).
I dug into your code and found that I think I am doing it the same way you are.
Here is your VB.NET code lifted from the download

For Each GridColumn In Grid.TableStyles.Item(0).GridColumnStyles
  // some stuff
Next

Here is my C# code (I think I am doing the same thing, please let me know if my C# code is not comparable):

foreach (System.Windows.Forms.DataGridColumnStyle dgcs in this.dataGrid2.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles)
{
  MessageBox.Show(dgcs.Width.ToString());
}

Now when I run my code I get several messageboxes displaying me the width of the columns, but if I change the width of the columns in my datagrid and execute the code again the column width's in the msgbox is the same. In fact even when I start my application the column widths are still the default column width (75 I think).

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Einar

>>I am working on saving the column widths (along with other things) in my grid to a XML file. I will use this information when the app is started to return everything (almost) to the same way as the user left it. I am having some problems finding where the grid's column width is located.
