I dont know why i posted that without checking IE first since that is what this discussion is about. I figured if Microsoft provided via Intellisense a Cells.Wrap property then their own browser would support the markup it creates. I just found out that the mark up it created includes adding “white-space: nowrap;” which we all know doesnt work.

Oh well.

could also use:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
…

e.Row.Cells[index].Wrap = false;

…
}

Well, if you encountered this problem in IE7, just like I did, you probably have a css attached with the attribute “width:auto”. Having this attribute on that cell automatically takes precedence any wrap attributes added to the cell, and yes Gramotei´s solution would work due to the fact that the span would disregard the cells css attributes…removing the width attribute and adding “white-space:nowrap;” would also work fine, tested successfully various diferent ways, another way it would work would be in the code, adding Cell.Attributes.Add(“nowrap”,”false”); , also would work, of course with no css attached…
