C# – How to Set a gridview column width when binding to a datatable

asp.netcgridviewgridviewcolumn

I am binding a table to a gridview in asp.net as such

grdIssues.DataSource = mdtIssues;

grdIssues.DataBind();

The problem is I cannot then control the column width, asp.net seems to decided on it's own what width each column should be. Methods such as

 grdIssues.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = 100;
 grdIssues.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width = 100;

don't work because the columns are created dynamically. I cannot believe there isn't a way to do this short of manually creating each column and filling each row.

You dont have to manually create the columns to set them the width, you can do this

 foreach (DataControlField column in OrdersGV.Columns)
    {
      column.ItemStyle.Width = Unit.Pixel(100);
    }

If you have that many columns, you may want to think about using a different control instead of a gridview. A DetailsView with paging would probably render better and be more manageable for the users. To answer your question, though, I don't believe option 1 would be that much of a performance hit. And I believe that option would be less strenuous than option 2. That mostly my opinion, though.

C# – How to set the Content-Type header for an HttpClient request

The content type is a header of the content, not of the request, which is why this is failing. AddWithoutValidation as suggested by Robert Levy may work, but you can also set the content type when creating the request content itself (note that the code snippet adds application/json in two places-for Accept and Content-Type headers):

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders
      .Accept
      .Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));//ACCEPT header

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "relativeAddress");
request.Content = new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\",\"age\":33}",
                                    Encoding.UTF8, 
                                    "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header

client.SendAsync(request)
      .ContinueWith(responseTask =>
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Response: {0}", responseTask.Result);
      });
