How to set the size of DataGridView VB.net

Question

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.

Solution 1

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).

Solution 2

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.
