The parameter name "style" was an unfortunate choice. It is only used for the class name and not for inline style declarations.

Option 1.

If you really want to change your column width without css, there is another override for Html.ActionLink that takes htmlAttributes as a fourth parameter. It will render out these attributes on every row, so it's not the most efficient, but it works.

new { style = "display:inline-block; width:100px;" }

Here's the full line

Grid.Column("Details", 
            canSort: false, 
            format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Details", 
                        "Details", 
                        new { id = item.CompetitiveExam.CompetitiveExamId }, 
                        new { style = "display:inline-block; width:100px;" }
                    )
           )

Option 2.

For the more general case where you want any column type to contain formatting, just include wrapper html with the desired formatting. Again though, this makes your document larger than it needs to be:

format: ((item) => new MvcHtmlString("<div style='width:100px;'>" + 
                   "your content here" + 
                   "</div>"))
