There is an empty space between the last row and the bottom of the datagridview.
Is there a way to get rid of this?

It's the dark area below the last row.

Hi doughboy,

Through DataGridView cannot trim the below dark area. But to make it looks prettier, you can set its BackgroundColor to "System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control". So the dark area will become the same color as your control.

Like this
this.dataGridView1.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;

Does this meet your need?

so it looks like they fixed the integral row height issue by only showing integral rows and hiding the partial row. In my case, I want the partial row!
Looks like they closed the ticket as By Design. Great.
DGV shows partial columns so why not partial rows?
Anyway, thanks for the link

Setting the background color isn't really going to help in my case but that's a good idea.

Why not size the datagridview accordingly. You can get the height of the column headers, row height and set the minimum size equal to the sum of those two and the maximum size equal to the sum of the column header size and the row height times the max number of rows you want to display. You will of course have to adjust for border widths and such but that's not too difficult.
