Hi Ram, there is nothing built in, I created my own attribute and then is the Field template I climb the control tree until I find the Html cell then apply the css class.

hi steve, thanks for replying. By giving width in css will affect all the tables right? I need to fix different width for different tables. Is there any way to acheive.? It will be more helpful, if you can post or mail some sample .
/// <summary>
/// Get the Data Control containing the FiledTemplate
/// usually a DetailsView or FormView
/// </summary>
/// <param name="control">
/// Use the current field template as a starting point
/// </param>
/// <returns>
/// A FilterRepeater the control that
/// contains the current control
/// </returns>
public static T GetContainerControl<T>(this Control control) where T : Control
{
var parentControl = control.Parent;
while (parentControl != null)
{
var p = parentControl as T;
if (p != null)
return p;
parentControl = parentControl.Parent;
}
return null;
}
and
/// <summary>
/// Get the attribute of type T or null if not found
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Attribute type</typeparam>
/// <param name="table">Column to search for the attribute on.</param>
/// <returns>Returns the attribute T or null</returns>
public static T GetAttribute<T>(this MetaColumn column) where T : Attribute
{
return column.Attributes.OfType<T>().FirstOrDefault();
}
That should do it.
I have that manu extension methods now I forget no-one else has them :(

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)]

public String Class { get; private set; }
public CellCssAttribute()
{
}
public CellCssAttribute(String css)

No, I create a CSS class like:
.Narrow50
{
width: 50px;
}
Then I use code in the field template:
/// <summary> /// Applies the CSS class to the current field template. /// </summary> /// <param name="control">The control.</param> /// <param name="Column">The column.</param> public static void ApplyCss(this FieldTemplateUserControl control) { var cellCss = control.Column.GetAttribute<CellCssAttribute>(); var htmlParentCell = control.GetContainerControl<HtmlTableCell>(); var parentCell = control.GetContainerControl<DataControlFieldCell>(); if (cellCss != null) { if (parentCell != null) { var cssClass = parentCell.Attributes["class"]; if (cssClass != null) cssClass += " " + cellCss.Class; else parentCell.Attributes.Add("class", cellCss.Class); } else { var cssClass = htmlParentCell.Attributes["class"]; if (cssClass != null) cssClass += " " + cellCss.Class; else htmlParentCell.Attributes.Add("class", cellCss.Class); } } }to walk the control tree and add the CSSClass just to that column.
