Hi everyone,

I would like to know how I can resize the Rows and the Columns in a DataGridView in order to adjust to the size of the container of this. So if I have 5 columns and 5 rows, I would like to occupy all the spaces available. Thank you very much for any help.

Hi,

 

Base on my understanding, you want to show gridlines in all display area of datagridview.

 

You can change AutoSizeColumnsMode property to fill. The columns will adjust their width to fill datagridview.

If rows count number is fixed, you can set the rows’ height to adjust datagridview display area.

            this.dataGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(3);

            dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = false;

 

            foreach (DataGridViewRow r in dataGridView1.Rows)

            {

                r.Height = (dataGridView1.DisplayRectangle.Height - dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersHeight-1) / dataGridView1.Rows.Count;

            }

 

If you want to show rowline dynamically, you can draw the rowlines in datagridview paint event.

The following FAQ tells about this.
