DataGridView - Automatically adjusting the width to match the column widths

Is there a way to easily set the width of a DGV to be equal to total of the widths of all the columns?

I could set up a foreach loop to add up the widths, but was thinking there is probably a better way.

The potential problem there is that if you have many columns your form might not be big enough for the resized DGV.

One the other hand, if your grid is bigger than needed you can stretch the last column to fill. Look atAutoSizeColumnsMode.

Excellent.

That worked prefectly

DataGridview1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill

Sorry for being slow to responf. I have been away.
