Hi Fady,

Please try this code

//For Left
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;

//For Right
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;

Let us know if this helps

Hi Haneef,

thanks to your reply, but i''m working with GridControl and not GridDataBoundGrid.

in GridControl i write these two lines

gridControl1.ColCount = 2;
gridControl1.BaseStylesMap[1].StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;

and the second line gives me this error :

System.NullReferenceException

best regards and thanks in advance

Hi Fady,

You need to use this code for GridControl.Here is a code snippet

this.gridControl1.BaseStylesMap["Column Header"].StyleInfo.HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;

Here is a sample.

Hi Fady,

Try this code

//For First Column
this.gridControl1[0,1].HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Left;

//For Second Column
this.gridControl1[0,2].HorizontalAlignment = GridHorizontalAlignment.Right;
