Controlling grid dimensions?

[Greg Clouston]

Silly question but how do you control basic size attributes of the MVC Grid? I would have thought that these attributes would be painfully obvious in the namespace but I can't find them. I'll assume they are buried further down somewhere.

The resulting HTML produces a div with it's size set to an arbitrary width. I need to make the grid's height and width larger to fill up it's container.

Hi Greg Clouston,

Thanks for evaluating Syncfusion Products. The response for this query has been updated in the incident 73089 also.

We have categorized the size attributes under scrolling and therefore to specify the basic size attributes in View, please refer to the below mentioned code snippet.

<%=Html.Grid("Grid1")
.Datasource(Model)
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
//Setting the size attributes of grid and width
.Scrolling(size =>
{
size
.Height(210)
.Width(1200);
})

.EnablePaging()
.EnableSorting()
.AutoFormat(Skins.Sandune)

%>

We will provide explicit support for specifying the size attributes in Grid builder in our volume1 2011 release.

For more details about setting the size attributes through builder, please refer our online documentation in the below link.

To Control the size attributes from the controller, you can directly set the width and height of GridPropertiesModel as below.

GridPropertiesModel model = new GridPropertiesModel
{
DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().Orders.Take(100).ToList(),
AutoFormat = Syncfusion.Mvc.Shared.Skins.Sandune
};
//Setting height and width of grid. This will apply only if you set AllowScrolling to true.
model.Height = 210;
model.Width = 1200;
model.AllowScrolling = true;

Thanks that worked.

I'm curious to know why this isn't mentioned anywhere in the products documentation.
