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.

I have data copies from datagridview1 to datagridview2 the data in datagridview2 I'm trying to figure out how to take specific columns and copy there contents over to another panel where that data will be put into labels, textboxs, comboboxes. I first did it with another datagrid but its far to crowded to hold all the controls along with the data. Below is and example picture of what I'm trying to recreate from a webpage we used to use but on a winform they now want to use, this shows 1 product however if datagridview2 has multiple entries then this would show multiple lines..etc
I have no idea how to go about this or if its even doable.
I'm thinking maybe the form generates a table layout view control with all the columns, adds rows depending on amount of rows from datagridview2 and generates the controls needed in each row for each cell from datagridview2. I may be entirely wrong there, but I'm reaching the end of my knowledge on doing something like this, so here I am to be schooled =)
I am having set of text boxes in the report and binding each columns in the text box from the Data set.
As of now only first record from the dataset is binding in the text box.
I need all the rows in the dataset to bind in the text boxes page wise.
Each row in the dataset bind to text boxes page wise.
First record in first page,Second record in second page ... etc.
How to achieve this? Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance,

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.
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 want to populate a DataGridView Grid in my Form with Data from SQL Query or from some Table form Database. I want to know various possible ways to populate the DataGridView Grid.
Thanks in advance.
There are basically 3 ways to display data in a DataGridView
Create the rows manually in a loop: it's very inefficient if you have a lot of data
Use the DataGridView's virtual mode: the DGV only creates as many rows as can be displayed, and
dynamically changes their contents when the user scrolls. You need
to handle the CellValueNeeded event to provide the required data to
the DGV
Use databinding: that's by far the easiest way. You just fill a
DataTable with the data from the database using a DbDataAdapter, and
you assign this DataTable to the DGV's DataSource property. The DGV
can automatically create the columns (AutoGenerateColumns = true),
or you can create them manually (you must set the DataPropertyName
of the column to the name of the field you want to display). In
databound mode, the DGV works like in virtual mode except that it
takes care of fetching the data from the datasource, so you don't
have anything to do. It's very efficient even for a large number of
rows

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.
