Resize DataGridView column populated from DataSource

1 New Member
I have a DataGridView populated from a DataSource with the code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.         Dim dt As New DataTable
  2.         dt.Columns.Add("Name")
  3.         dt.Columns.Add("Result")
  4.         Dim dr As DataRow
  5.         For i = 1 To 12
  6.             dr = dt.NewRow()
  7.             dr(0) = "Name " & i.ToString()
  8.             dr(1) = "Result " & i.ToString()
  9.             dt.Rows.Add(dr)
  10.         Next
  11.         grd.DataSource = dt
  12.  
The grid is anchored so that it resized together with the form. I want to resize one of the columns when the grid resizes. I'm using the code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.     Private Sub grd_Resize(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grd.Resize
  2.         colName.Width = grd.Width - colResult.Width - 18
  3.     End Sub
  4.  
This has no effect (column is not resizing).

I have tested with populating the grid without a DataSource, using the code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.         For i = 1 To 12
  2.             n = grd.Rows.Add()
  3.             grd.Rows(n).Cells(0).Value = "Name" & i.ToString()
  4.             grd.Rows(n).Cells(1).Value = "Result" & i.ToString()
  5.         Next
  6.  
In this case, resizing works fine. However, I need to use a DataSource.

Could someone help ?

I always set my column autosizing to fit all cells (headers and regulars) and its always resized just fine?

Is it possible to alter a table to resize a varchar column? The PG docs indicate lots of uses for "alter table T alter column C..." but not one that allows the changing of the type (or same type, new size). This is possible in Oracle (provided you are increasing the column size). Is there a way to resize the column without having to drop or recreate the table or column? Thanks

Now this ought to be a simple matter. But nothing's simple in the Net world, I'm finding. In vb6 you could use "!" to force text to upper case in the format function.

I'm in the phase of converting from 6 to Net and it seems that even the simplest thing is very, very complicated. And it...

Hey everyone... I've got three problems with a custom DataGridView column I've built following the "How To: Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells" article. The base editing control is a ComboBox which is similar to the built-in Combo column but will hopefully be more flexible. First: I am using this control in multiple columns which _should_ hold unique items. However, the items added to column A are visible in

I am wondering what is considered a best practice for setting column widths to fit the data for a DataGridView (.Net 2.0) that was created on-the-fly from an arbitrary query. What I would probably do is scan the width of each column for the first couple hundred or so rows and find the largest. (But how does one convert character counts to field widths in pixels?) More generally, however, is there a better approach to accomplish this?
