Formatting a datagridview in vb.net - vb.net

Hi everyone i just wanted to ask how can i make the appearance of my datagridview better
I just wanted to remove the spaces enclosed in the red lines ,are there any way that I can extend my database to the full sisze of my datagridview?
Thank in advance

set AutoSizeMode to fill for Name column

Your question has nothing to do with the database. You can fiddle with the auto-sizing of the columns so that they occupy the full width of the grid. To fill the space at the bottom you would have to change the height of the rows, which would be unusual and is not something that would happen automatically. You could just change the grid background colour to white so it looks less like empty space.

I recently faced the same issue, I used some help from stackoverflow to solve the issue, u might have already figured it out but this is to help others with similar issue.
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
You can use a List with page breaks at the end of details group.

How to set the size of DataGridView VB.net

Program http://www.repairstatus.org/program.png
The DataGridView fetches the data from a MySQL server but it does not fill the entire box in size.
Ideally I would like to manually set the table size to fit the box at least width-wise because the rest will fill up once the database is populated more.
Set the property AutoSizeColumnsMode to be Fill. That'll ensure your columns stretch to 100% within your DataGridView. The columns will stretch/shrink when you resize your grid (if your grid is anchored to your form).
Look at the Fill Weights for the Columns.
Specifically, change the AutoSizeMode to Fill.
If trying to expand more than one column, adjust the FillWeight percentage.

Displaying data in DataGridView without HorizontalScroll

My problem is data that load at startup in a DataGridView and a cell containing large data that I want to display on multiple lines instead of horizontalScroll
Multiple lines isn't (easily) supported. You can adjust the Width with Grid.AutoSizeColumnmode and the FillWidth properties of each column.
As an alternative Idea, why not place a multiline textbox near the Grid abd databind that to the specific column? Would show more of the text, but 1 row at a time.
