how to wrap text in boundfield column in gridview

i am having a boundfield column and in that column if i entered a string(without spaces) of length 15, there is no problem. But if the string is more than 15, the text is not wrapped. I gave the command column.ItemStyle.Wrap=true; But its not working. I have fixed the width of the column.

How to wrap the text in the boundfield if a string more 15 characters.
Thanks

Method 1

I had a similar problem, drove me insane. Turns out I had RowStyle-Wrap set false, which in turn was overriding the itemstyle-wrap in the boundfield column. Change your .aspx to <RowStyle Wrap="True" />

Method 2

Supported in all but Opera (Even works in IE6!):

.wraptext { word-wrap: break-word;}

Edit —
Woops, just found another resource that handles Opera, too!

Method 3

Sorry, for my previous solution.

You could use <br/> to break for each 15 characters.

Example if you string result is 1234567890123456. It gone be 123456789012345<br/>6

Here some snippets code:

string myString = "mondayfridaysaturday";
string result = string.Empty;
for (int i=0; i<myString.Length; i++)
    result += (i%14==0&&i!=0) ? (myString[i].ToString()+"<br/>") : myString[i].ToString();
