How can I increase the DropDownWidth of a dropdownlist at runtime?

[prazathin]

Generally the width of the DropDownList Increases according to the string it contains....or otherwise
use
DropDownList1.Width = x;
x=integer value; to increase the width in runtime

Thanks, but I think my post needs more details. I actually want the combo box to remain at a fixed width, but if the content is longer than the width, then the dropdown appears wider when you click on it.

Access does this automatically, but I can't find a way yo do it in asp.net

Thats because ASP.NET renders HTML, and HTML doesn't support this. You could make a custom control using a textbox, a button, a hidden listbox and a whole bunch of javascript, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth.
