the watch window tells me that: GridColumnStyles doesn't have an indexer?!?!?
Now I believe that this is wrong, because I have and can still use it's indexer there is just one thing that I can not use it's indexer for.

I am using the GridColumnStyles indexer when I am writing the column widths to a XML file:

wtr.WriteElementString("Width", this.dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[i].Width.ToString());

but When I try to read from the XML file and assign the saved column with back to the datagrid column

this.dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[iCounter].Width = Convert.ToInt16(rdr.Value);

this line throws an exception stating that GridColumnStyles doesn't have an indexer.

Now here comes the wierd part. If I replace the line above with a messagebox it works (well the assignment doesn't work but I get messageboxes with the column's width)

MessageBox.Show(this.dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[iCounter].Width.ToString());
//this.dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[iCounter].Width = Convert.ToInt16(rdr.Value);

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,
Einar
