Auto adjust column width

[vcorn]

how do we get our column width auto adjusted to fit the length of the column header text when it's displayed in dataGrid. Thanks:-D

There is no automatic adjustment for the DataGrid like there is for the ListView (not data-bindable). You must either guess at design-time, or when the DataGrid is loading, enumerate the DataGrid.TableStyles collection property, and enumerate each's GridColumnStyles collection property. Get the text and use Graphics.MeasureString using the Font property of the DataGrid. Set the current column's Width accordingly. This only works when 1) you're using explicitly defined table and column styles before data is bound, or 2) after data is bound to the DataGrid.
