Example of AutoWrap Column Cells in ASP.NET MVC Data Grid Control
This sample demonstrates the Grid component with the auto wrap column cell. In this sample, you can see that the main fields of invention column cell content exceeded the available width hence it has been wrapped into multiple lines.

Auto wrap cell content can be enabled using AllowTextWrap property of the Grid. Setting this property will wrap cell text on multiple lines. This feature is useful
to view the cell content when it exceeds the cell width.
Setting this property will wrap the text in both content cell and header cell.
In this demo, the AllowTextWrap property is enabled and you can also see that the Main fields of invention column whose
content exceeded the cell width is wrapped into multiple lines.
