.NET GridView - Can you right-align just one column?

Question

Can you easily right-align just one column in a GridView?

I have this

Answer 1

Yes, you can, but I think if you have AutoGenerateColumns set to true (which it is by default) then you need to right align the column using the RowDataBound event. As a side note, if it's easier you can set AutoGenerateColumns to false and use BoundFields which will give you more formatting options and will probably eliminate the need for the RowDataBound event.

GridView:

Codebehind:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object o, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    //Assumes the Price column is at index 4
    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        e.Row.Cells[4].HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;
}

Hope that helps.
