What are some approaches for vertically constraining a gridview? I dropped one on a page as a test and it extended down the full length of the datasource. I'd like to have it fit within a "frame" (I'm not sure it will be a "real" frame) like a sub-page on a larger page. Should I put it in a user control? What are some other approaches?

Thanks!

It depends on what you want it to do when more data must be displayed then your "viewport" allows.

You could wrap the control inside a <div> with a fixed width and height and its overflow set to auto. Once the Grid is bigger than the <div> you'll see scroll bars appear.

 Thanks for your message. I'd like scroll bars. I tried this:

<div style ="overflow:auto; height:510px; width:500px" >
    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"
        (gridview stuff)
    </asp:GridView>
</div>

but still shows a vertically lonngggg gridview. Did I miss something?

oops! I had a style line in the gridview header...it overrode the div. Took it out and voila...Scroll bars!

Dank!
